Incomplete reactions in nanothermite composites. [PDF]
J Appl Phys, 2017 Exothermic reactions between oxophilic metals and transition/post transition metal-oxides have been well documented owing to their fast reaction time scales (≈10 μs). This article examines the extent of the reaction in nano-aluminum based thermite systems through a forensic inspection of the products formed during reaction.

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.
