The self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) has been used in authors? works for preparation of ceramic nanolaminates, namely Ti3SiC2, Ti3AlC2 and Ti2AlN. The possibility of obtaining near-single-phase materials, processing of SHS products into sinterable powders and densification of the powders by sintering and hot-pressing are discussed. Finally, polycrystalline nanolaminate materials with controlled phase composition and microstructure have been obtained. The materials have been investigated as structure materials by testing their mechanical properties. The possibility of using of prepared powders to obtain ceramic composites, ceramic bonds and FGM materials, as well as their potential application are discussed.
