The shock compression of reactive powder mixtures can yield varied chemical behaviour
with occurrence of mechanochemical reactions in the timescale of the high pressure state, or …

Reaction initiation in the Ni− Al heterogeneous gasless system due to thermal and
mechanical stimuli was investigated. Reactive systems with different microstructures …

Granular composites containing aluminum (Al) and nickel (Ni) are typical structural energetic
materials, which possess ideal combination of both mechanical properties and energy …

A kinetic model of oxidation of aluminum in oxygen has been previously established based
on thermal analysis data using heating rates in the 1–40K/min range. Ignition, on the other …

In this paper, the energy release mechanism of shock-induced chemical reaction (SICR) of
Al/Ni composites was investigated. The Al/Ni composites with two additives, namely Teflon …

Al-PTFE (aluminum-polytetrafluoroethene) is regarded as one of the most promising reactive
materials (RMs). In this work, Ni (Nickel) was added to Al-PTFE composites for the purpose …

Al/Ni composites are typical structural energetic materials, which have dual functions of
structural and energetic characteristics. In order to investigate the influence of manufacturing …

Extraordinary states of highly localised pressure and temperature can be generated upon
the collapse of impulsively driven cavities. Direct observation of this phenomenon in solids …

The exothermic reaction of Ni/Al laminates always starts from the interface, and the role of
interfacial instability in the shock-induced chemical reaction has not been clarified. This work …

Chondritic meteorites are fragments of asteroids, the building blocks of planets, that retain a
record of primordial processes. Important in their early evolution was impact-driven …
