Abstract
The advantages of the samplecontrolled thermal analysis SCTA for both the kinetic analysis of solidstate reactions and the synthesis of materials are reviewed This method implies an intelligent control of the temperature by the solidstate reaction under study in such a way that the reaction rate as a function of the time fits a profile previously defined by the user It has been shown that SCTA has important advantages for discriminating the kinetic model of solidstate reactions as compared with conventional rising temperature methods Moreover the advantages of SCTA methods for synthesising materials with controlled texture and structure are analysed
