Silicon-silicon carbide (Si-SiC) composite powders were synthesized by in-situ self- propagating high-temperature synthesis using rice husk ash (RHA)/carbon/Mg as precursors in argon atmosphere. The as-SHS powders were leached by two leaching steps. The microstructure and chemical composition of the obtained Si-SiC composite powders were examined using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and x-ray diffractometer (XRD), respectively.

The possibility of the increase of the properties of ceramics in the TaSi2–SiC system via the reinforcement by the SiC nanofibers formed in situ in the combustion wave has been studied. For the formation of nanofibers as well as for increase of the exothermicity of the reaction mixtures, energetic additive PTFE (C2F4) was used. Using the method of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis of the mechanically activated mixtures, 70%TaSi2+30%SiC ceramic was produced, with SiC present as the round-shaped grains and as nanofibers. Ceramic specimens sintered by hot pressing were characterized by relative density up to 98 %, hardness 19,0–19,2 GPa and fracture toughness 7,5–7,8 MPa·m1/2, which is noticeably above the fracture toughness of the ceramic with similar composition produced without the PTFE additions.

Cu2Se is a promising material for thermoelectric energy conversion. Fully dense single-phase bulk Cu2Se was prepared by the combination of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis with in situ quick pressing for the first time.
