Since then, the class of ingredients has widened to include metal/metal mixtures and with the progress in physical vapor deposition, precise nanoscale layering of the reactant has become possible. These reactive multilayer systems (RMS), comprising up to several hundred repetitions of individual layers, reach total film thicknesses of up to several tens of micrometers. The characteristic of these films is their capability of undergoing self-propagating exothermic reactions at up to ≈100 m/s and 2000 °C and more. Thermodynamics, reaction kinetics as well as thermal and chemical diffusion set the boundary conditions defining the reaction properties, thus providing means for reaction design.</p><p>The application of such self-propagating reactions is of great technological interest, e.g. for the joining of electronic components in electronics, the debonding of parts or even a repair of failure parts. However, the self-propagating reaction after multilayer ignition is hard to control in real technical systems. While the influence of the most prominent parameter, the bilayer thickness, has been studied extensively for various material combinations, many open questions exist regarding the effect of factors like surfaces, materials properties, roughness, morphology, thermo-mechanical stress, structuring or combined systems.</p><p>This special issue contains the latest research on such reactive multilayer systems based on Ni/Al and Ru/Al, the current understanding and their applications. The articles investigate the impact of the morphological characteristics and physical properties of the joining partners on the microstructural features of the fabricated RMS, as well as the role of thermophysical properties of the system and the kinetics of the reaction.
