Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) can be regarded as an efficient method to obtain new nanomaterials. Different starting mixtures of magnesium powder with various carbonates (Li2CO3, Na2CO3, CaCO3, FeCO3, (NH4)(2)CO3) were tried and the auto-thermal reactions were carried out under both reactive (air) and neutral atmosphere (argon) with an initial pressure of 1 or 10 atm to yield novel nanomaterials. Both SiC nanofibres and novel branched SiC nanostructures were also obtained from Si/polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) mixtures and their synthesis and purification have been optimized. The application of those one-dimensional (1-D) SiC nanostructures as a composite filler is presented. (C) 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
