This article is a review on the nanolaminate composite materials from a materials science
perspective. In fact, nanolaminate composite materials are a category of two-dimensional …

Multilayered Al/CuO thermite was deposited by a dc reactive magnetron sputtering method.
Pure Al and Cu targets were used in argon–oxygen gas mixture plasma and with an oxygen …

This theoretical work aims to understand the influence of nanopores at CuO–Al
nanothermite interfaces on the initial stage of thermite reaction. ReaxFF molecular dynamics …

This article provides a computational analysis of the reaction of fully-dense layered
aluminum and copper oxide systems. After the detailed presentation of the 2D nonstationary …

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 …

In situ deposition of a thin (∼ 5 nm) layer of copper between Al and CuO layers is shown to
increase the overall nanolaminate material reactivity. A combination of transmission electron …

Mg/fluorocarbon core/shell nanoenergetic arrays are prepared onto silicon substrate, with
Mg nanorods as the core and fluorocarbon as the shell. Mg nanorods are deposited by the …

This work investigates the combustion of porous Al/CuO thermites, that is, nanolaminates
fabricated with various densities of micron-sized air-filled pores in the range of 0–20 vol …

Microelectromechanical systems, commonly abbreviated as MEMS, have introduced a class
of miniaturized devices and systems with high sensitivity and rapid and accurate delivery of …
