“…Moreover, preliminary activated powders can be used not only for combustion synthesis, but also for reaction sintering, which is based on the idea of simultaneous synthesis and compaction of the material. This method produces a wide range of materials: composites [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ], thermoelectrics [ 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ], and ceramics [ 35 , 36 , 37 ], including high-entropy ones [ 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ]. The implementation of this method is typically carried out on hot pressing (HP) and spark plasma sintering (SPS) devices and referred to as RHP and RSPS, respectively [ 42 ].…”
