The initiation temperatures in nanothermite reactions [PDF]
, 2019 An assumption on general regularities and chemical mechanisms of solid-state reactions in nanofilms and nanothermite mixtures is made. It is demonstrated that the moving force of all Al-based nanothermite reactions is the synthesis of the Al2O3 phase with a high negative enthalpy of formation.
