2. Combustion

The reactivity of nanostructured materials, as mentioned above, is superior to that of microstructured materials . The reactions that play a role in the ignition of micro-scale materials may or may not be the same as those involved in the ignition of nanoscale materials. Another unresolved question is how they react during heat treatment as a function of heating rates or rates of temperature rise. All these questions can be addressed by looking at reaction mechanisms, especially as questions relating to these reaction mechanisms are also linked to propagation regimes, because some of these materials can sustain deflagration...
