The influence of the layer sizes on the conversion regimes realizing at layered composite synthesis

Abstract

The composite materials with different structure find a variety of applications. However, the peculiarities of the propagation of chemical reactions between structural elements during composite material synthesis are poorly studied. This paper suggests a model describing the conjugation of structure composite elements using a solid phase reaction at the ignition from a free surface. It was established that depending on the relation between layer sizes, various conversion regimes between inert materials are observed. The regimes differ in temperature values in the reaction zone, heterogeneities of temperature field and reaction zone thickness. Relation between thermophysical properties and thicknesses of layers can both promote reaction and retard it.
