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 …

Dynamic compression experiments were performed on a pressed PTFE/Al/W mixture to
understand the composite behavior at high-strain and high-strain rate. The high-strain-rate …

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

This study conducted integrated experiments and computational modeling to investigate the

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

Three different batches of tungsten-zirconium (W-Zr) reactive material were prepared by hot-
pressing elemental powder mixtures. The first sample had a Zr: W mass ratio of 66: 34. The …

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 …

In prior research on shock-induced reaction, the interfacial crystallization of intermetallics,
which plays an important role in solid-state reaction kinetics, has not been explored in detail …

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 …

Mesoscale simulations of the shock-compression response of nickel and aluminum powder
mixtures have been performed to investigate the influence of particle configuration (size …
