Abstract
The current issue of International Journal of Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis is dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the ‘solid flame’ discovery, by A.G. Merzhanov, V.M. Shkiro, and I.P. Borovinskaya in 1967, which led to the development of rapid synthesis methods based on exothermic reactions in condensed systems. Today, Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis (SHS) and Solution Combustion Synthesis (SCS) are very popular preparation techniques for numerous simple and complex compounds including oxygen-free ceramics, oxides, chalcogenides, metals, alloys, and composites in the form of nanoscale powders, porous items, thin films, etc. The present issue consists of brief topical review articles by active researchers in the field. The articles cover principles and some recent developments in SHS and SCS.
