Popis: A thermodynamic approach that allows creating materials with improved combination of properties is developed. The new theory is based on Gibbs thermodynamics, which is a very strict physical theory. Foundations of the phenomenological hierarchical kinetic quasi-equilibrium thermodynamics of quasi-closed systems are presented. It is assumed in the theory of kinetic thermodynamics that at any moment of time the state functions of the systems studied have real physical sense within a justified approximation. Hierarchical thermodynamics is applied successfully in studies of the processes of creation of materials under weakly nonequilibrium conditions and of the evolution of living systems.
