With the development of micro-spacecraft technology, micro-nano satellites have the
advantages of small size, low power consumption, short development cycle, formation …

Existing micro-ignitors face significant challenges in terms of durability, mass production,
and upscaling, mainly due to the use of membranes as critical components. Thin …

We have developed a new nanothermite based polymeric electro-thermal initiator for non-
contact ignition of a propellant. A reactive Al/CuO multilayer nanothermite resides on a 100 …

We propose top ignition MEMS-based solid propellant microthruster (SPM) array to satisfy
the precise propulsion requirements of small spacecraft, especially micro/nanosatellites. A …

Initiating explosive devices are the primary energy and driving force of a weapon system,
which can be excited by some form of external energy (mechanical, thermal or electrical) to …

The energy release properties of a propellant can be improved by coating boron (B)
particles with oxidants. In the study, B was coated with four different oxidants, namely, NH 4 …

Nanothermites composed of nano-fuels and oxidants are attractive energetic materials,
which have potential applications in microscale energy-demanding systems. Herein, nano …

A microigniter with improved membrane for MEMS solid propellant thruster array is
proposed. Although existing igniters using dielectric SiNx membranes consume low power …

This paper presents the internal ballistic design, fabrication procedure, and performance
evaluation of a micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS) solid propellant thruster array …

Nano-Al/NiO thermites were successfully prepared as film by electrophoretic deposition
(EPD). For the key issue of this EPD, a mixture solvent of ethanol–acetylacetone (1: 1 in …
