Self‐propagating high‐temperature synthesis (SHS) can be regarded as an efficient method to obtain new nanomaterials. Different starting mixtures of magnesium powder with various carbonates (Li 2 CO 3 , Na 2 CO 3 , CaCO 3 , FeCO 3 , (NH 4 ) 2 CO 3 ) were tried and the auto‐thermal reactions were carried out under both reactive (air) and neutral atmosphere (argon) with an initial pressure of 1 or 10 atm to yield novel nanomaterials. Both SiC nanofibres and novel branched SiC nanostructures were also obtained from Si/polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) mixtures and their synthesis and purification have been optimized. The application of those one‐dimensional (1‐D) SiC nanostructures as a composite filler is presented.
