Unveiling the Role of Curvature in Carbon for Improved Energy Release of Ammonium Perchlorate

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
High‐curvature carbon materials identified via machine learning and simulation can enhance the heat release and combustion performance of ammonium perchlorate. ABSTRACT The catalytic role of carbon curvature in the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) remains largely unexplored. To address this gap, this study employs machine learning and

Green Propellants Based on Ammonium Dinitramide (ADN)

, 2011
Ammonium perchlorate (AP) and hydrazine are today widely used as propellants. AP as oxidizer in solid propellants and hydrazine as liquid monopropellant (Brown, 1995; Sutton and Biblarz, 2001). These propellants are well known for their good performance characteristics, but their limitations and liabilities regarding toxicity, operational handling and ...

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...
