Investigation of the kinetics of self-propagating synthesis by the methods of computational IR thermography

The methods, techniques, and results of investigations of the kinetics of self-propagating synthesis of organic reagents performed in order to improve self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) are described. Data on the structure of the combustion wave are presented; the data were obtained using a system for computational IR thermography, IR spectroscopy of scattering media, contact thermometry and microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis, all of which made it possible to obtain information about the physical and chemical processes occurring in a wave of SHS.
