In the last decade, the decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) has been a major
research topic, which is extensively studied by the scientific community. The present work …

New micro-unit composite fuels Al@ AP with different mass ratios of Al and AP are designed,
prepared, and added to solid propellants in place of the original aluminum powder. Through …

The agglomeration and sintering of aluminum (Al) metal fuels lead to inadequate
combustion and low energy release efficiency in the solid propellant systems. Herein, we …

The design and development of microscopic surface structures and surface defects of
nanomaterials provide infinite possibilities for optimizing their catalytic activity. In this study …

The incomplete combustion of aluminum in solid propellants leads to a low-level energy
release. As a promising strategy, fuel/oxidizer interfacial control is proved to be effective for …

The combustion of metastable intermixed composites (MICs) containing fluoropolymers is
yet still not well understood. In this study, five new Al/MO X/PVDF nanocomposites (MO X …

To improve the ignition and combustion behaviors of Al, the strategy of interfacial
modification using transition metals (TMs) for the Al/AP composites to produce the multi …

Hollow energetic microspheres have attracted great attention in the field of materials due to
their wide application potential. However, scalable, simple, and low-cost production …

In this paper, three nanocomposite fuels (Al/TMs@ AP) including Al/Co@ AP, Al/Ni@ AP and
Al/Ti@ AP have been fabricated by a spray-drying technique. Their morphology, heat of …

Aluminum-based fuels generally suffer from poor compatibility with the polymer matrix, low
combustion heat and severe agglomeration after combustion, which seriously restrict the …
