The optimal charge ratio of reverse microemulsions and the necessary conditions of reverse microemulsion-gel system(MGS)were investigated in Span-80,Tween-80/cyclohexane/water water-in-oil microemulsions and the formation conditions of the molybdic oxide/silica complex gel were studied in non-microemulsion.

Two important routes currently being used to improve molybdenum disilicide mechanical property and oxidation are the alloying approach and the doping approach.

Applications of 2 different extrusion modes(equal channel angular extrusion and conventional forward extrusion) to the forming of molybdenum disilicide electric heating elements and their influence on the micro structure and density are studied.

Self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS)is regarded as an effective technique for producing MoSi2 and MoSi2 based composites due to its low cost, quick reaction speed and high transformation rate.

Various processes of the Mo/Si thin films deposited on Si (001) substrates by RF magnetron sputtering technique were carefully investigated and the MoSi2 thin film with the single tetragonal phase and low resistivity was successfully prepared.

The recent investigation development of MoSi2 including crystal structure,microstructure,properties and main application fields was reviewed.
