Experimental Assessment of Primer Pressure in 9 mm Pistol Ammunition [PDF]
In theoretical simulations of internal ballistics phenomena, the value of pressure generated by the ignition system is required. Typically, the ignition pressure value is assumed to be 3 - 5 MPa.

Fire-Safe Hierarchical Solid Polymer Electrolytes Enabled by Dual-Functional Microcapsules for Lithium Metal Batteries. [PDF]
Dual‐functional fire‐safe microcapsules are integrated into hierarchical solid polymer electrolytes to provide sequential protection against thermal abuse. The ammonium hydrogen phytate‐modified shell forms a protective char barrier, while the thermally triggered release of perfluoro(2‐methyl‐3‐pentanone) actively suppresses combustion, enabling safer ...
