Phase transitions occurring during the (de)intercalation of Na in Na2/3[Fe1/2Mn1/2]O2 have been examined by using in situ XRD and in situ Raman Spectroscopy along with ex situ NMR.

The pyrolysis (1000 °C) of a liquid poly(vinylmethyl-co-methyl)silazane modified by tetrakis(dimethylamido)titanium in flowing ammonia, nitrogen and argon followed by the annealing (1000–1800 °C) of as-pyrolyzed ceramic powders have been investigated in detail. We first provide a comprehensive mechanistic study of the polymer-to-ceramic conversion based on TG experiments coupled with in-situ mass spectrometry and ex-situ solid-state NMR and FTIR spectroscopies of both the chemically modified polymer and the pyrolysis intermediates. The pyrolysis leads to X-ray amorphous materials with chemical bonding and ceramic yields controlled by the nature of the atmosphere. Then, the structural evolution of the amorphous network of ammonia-, nitrogen- and argon-treated ceramics has been studied above 1000 °C under nitrogen and argon by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. HRTEM images coupled with XRD confirm the formation of nanocomposites after annealing at 1400 °C. Their unique nanostructural feature appears to be the result of both the molecular origin of the materials and the nature of the atmosphere used during pyrolysis. Samples are composed of an amorphous Si-based ceramic matrix in which TiNxCy nanocrystals (x + y = 1) are homogeneously formed “in situ” in the matrix during the process and evolve toward fully crystallized compounds as TiN/Si3N4, TiNxCy (x + y = 1)/SiC and TiC/SiC nanocomposites after annealing to 1800 °C as a function of the atmosphere.

Metal–ceramic composites are obtained via ex-situ or in-situ routes. The in-situ route implies the synthesis of reinforcement in the presence of a matrix and is often regarded as providing more flexibility to the microstructure design of composites than the ex-situ route. Spark plasma sintering (SPS) is an advanced sintering method that allows fast consolidation of various powder materials up to full or nearly full density. In reactive SPS, the synthesis and consolidation are combined in a single processing step, which corresponds to the in-situ route. In this article, we discuss the peculiarities of synthesis of ceramic reinforcements in metallic matrices during SPS with a particular consideration of reactant/matrix mutual chemistry. The formation of carbide reinforcements in Cu, Al, and Ni matrices is given attention with examples elaborated in the authors’ own research. Factors determining the suitability of reactive SPS for manufacturing of composites from a matrix/reactants system and features of the structural evolution of the reaction mixture during sintering are discussed.
