Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Microwave heating technique has attracted considerable attention for the processing of various materials such as ceramics, glasses, polymers, composites and even metals. Researchers are trying to apply this technology to new areas. The present review presents a short overview of some recent applications of conventional and/ or microwave processing for the synthesis of novel ceramics and glass-ceramics.
