Mechanical properties of HTPB composite propellants in the initial period of service life [PDF]
Scientific Technical Review, 2014 Uniaxial tensile tests of different composite solid rocket propellant compositions, based on hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB), have shown that mechanical properties extensively change after curing, up to 100% of their initial values, during the ...

Spectrally Tunable 2D Material‐Based Infrared Photodetectors for Intelligent Optoelectronics
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Intelligent optoelectronics through spectral engineering of 2D material‐based infrared photodetectors. Abstract The evolution of intelligent optoelectronic systems is driven by artificial intelligence (AI). However, their practical realization hinges on the ability to dynamically capture and process optical signals across a broad infrared (IR) spectrum.

Innovative boron nitride-doped propellants
Defence Technology, 2016 The U.S. military has a need for more powerful propellants with balanced/stoichiometric amounts of fuel and oxidants. However, balanced and more powerful propellants lead to accelerated gun barrel erosion and markedly shortened useful barrel life.
