Description
Summary:Nanocomposites based on boron carbide B<sub>4</sub>C are hard materials with wide field of applications in modern technologies. A system of first-order ordinary differential equations that simulates the process of chemical synthesis of nanopowders of B<sub>4</sub>C–TiB<sub>2</sub> compositions containing titanium diboride (TiB<sub>2</sub>) as an additional phase is suggested and resolved numerically for a typical ratio of reaction constants. Reagents and products concentrations are found as time-functions. In this way, the optimal route of production technology of boron carbide-based nanomaterials can be identified.
