Afterburn modeling of nanothermite composites [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2020
The Jones-Wilkins-Lee (JWL) EOS is widely used to capture detonation energy release but not the energy release from secondary combustion, or afterburn. To account for the burn mechanism of detonation products with that of combustion, the JWL EOS had been extended such as in the work of Miller[1], whose reactive flow model for highly non-ideal ...

Unexpected enhanced reactivity of aluminized nanothermites by accelerated aging [PDF]

Chemical Engineering Journal, 2021
Abstract We examine the thermal aging of four Al based thermites chosen among the most commonly used in microenergetic systems: Al/CuO, Al/Fe2O3, Al/Fe3O4 and Al/Co3O4. For each nanothermite system, we applied the modified Friedmann isoconversional method from DSC signals to calculate the kinetic parameters of reactions and the function of the ...

Thermal decomposition behavior and kinetic study of nitrocellulose in presence of ternary nanothermites with different oxidizers

FirePhysChem, 2023
Nanothermites have recently attracted a great deal of interest in both military and civilian domains owing to their capability of igniting or exploding and releasing a significant quantity of heat via a redox reaction.

Multi‐Material Aerosol Jet Printing of Al/Cuo Nanothermites for Versatile Fabrication of Energetic Antennas

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 33, Issue 49, December 1, 2023., 2023
A multi‐material aerosol jet printing system is introduced for the in situ mixing of a nanoscale thermite comprised of aluminum and copper (II) oxide particles. The high resolution patterning enables precise integration with printed electronics, exemplified by an energetic antenna tuned to 2.45 GHz with low ignition delay, while the digital control ...

Fast reactions of shocked energetic microporous metallic composites

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, Volume 48, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Metal/oxidizer composites can potentially release more energy than organic explosives such as HMX (1,3,5,7‐Tetranitro‐1,3,5,7‐tetrazocane), but are generally unsuitable for high‐performance explosives due to slow energy release. These composites have physically separated fuel and oxidizer components, and their energetic combustion reactions ...

Electrophoretic Deposition of Superhydrophobic Al/Fe2O3 Nanothermite with Long–Term Storage Stability

International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2020
In this study, a superhydrophobic Al/Fe2O3 nanothermite with long–term storage stability was prepared by electrophoretic deposition of nano–Al particles and nano– Fe2O3 microboxes on Ti substrate and subsequent modification process.

High‐Speed, microwave ignition: Antenna igniters with frequency and bandwidth selectivity

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, Volume 48, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
Abstract This effort demonstrates the development of (1) dielectric breakdown igniters and (2) bridgewire igniters powered by half‐wavelength dipole microwave microstrip antennas with bandwidth selectivity for use in standoff ignition applications. Dielectric igniters utilized a dielectric epoxy filled with up to 30 wt.

A Review of the Catalytic Effects of Lead‐Based Ballistic Modifiers on the Combustion Chemistry of Double Base Propellants

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, Volume 46, Issue 1, Page 13-25, January 2021., 2021
Abstract Lead‐based compounds are the current industry‐standard ballistic modifier for double‐base propellants, but there is a pressing need for alternatives as incoming European legislation will soon ban their use. This review article introduces the main concepts and terminologies in the combustion chemistry of double‐base propellants, and critically ...
