Metal oxides (MOs) are of great importance in catalysts, sensor, capacitor and water
treatment. Nano-sized MOs have attracted much more attention because of the unique …

One of the groups of pyrotechnic compositions is thermite compositions, so-called thermites,
which consist of an oxidant, usually in the form of a metal oxide or salt, and a free metal …

We examine the thermal aging of four Al based thermites chosen among the most commonly
used in microenergetic systems: Al/CuO, Al/Fe 2 O 3, Al/Fe 3 O 4 and Al/Co 3 O 4. For each …

Boron (B) is an attractive fuel for its high energy density, however, the native oxide shell
retards boron ignition/combustion. In this study, nano titanium (nTi) powders were added …

Metastable intermolecular composites (MICs) are known for their high energy density, high
burn rate, and low diffusion distance, and they have various applications in military and …

Carbon material is an important additive in energetic materials. Graphene is a monolayer
carbon material in which carbon atoms are arranged in two-dimensional honeycomb …

The safety and reliability of weapon systems would be significantly affected by changes in
the performance of energetic materials due to ambient temperature and humidity …

The study employed a two-step synthesis method to prepare Al@ PFHP@ fluoropolymer
energetic composites with a core–shell structure. PFHP and HF acid are used for surface …

Aluminium (Al) powder is the most common solid fuel component in metastable
intermolecular composites (MICs). It is used in the field of propellants to provide energy for …

The paper reports a joint experimental/theoretical study on the aging of reactive Al/CuO
nanolaminates, investigating both structural modifications and combustion properties of …
