THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL BACKGROUND FOR OBSERVING SELF-ORGANIZATION IN REACTING POWDER SYSTEMS

Abstract

The processes of nonlinear interaction and self-organization in reacting powder systems are studied both theoretically and experimentally to contribute to the ideas of non-equilibrium thermodynamics from the standpoint of synergy. Nonequilibrium physical and chemical powder systems prone to self-organization are presented. A general principle behind the formation of dissipative objects acting as materials with nonlinear mechanisms of adaptation is stated. The processing capabilities of self-organization are shown in practice.
