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

open access: yesPropellants, 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 ...

Enhancing energetic performance of metal-organic complex-based metastable energetic nanocomposites by spray crystallization

open access: yesDefence Technology, 2023
Energetic metal-organic complexes have been involved in nanothermites as novel oxidants. However, the existing preparation methods often lead to mixing inhomogeneity and small contact area of ingredients, the reactivity and functionality of the novel ...

Nanosized niobium (V) and tantalum (V) oxide ceramics as competitive oxidizers within aluminium-based nanothermites

open access: yesEnergetic Materials Frontiers, 2021
Among the energetic mixtures, one category are thermites. Thermites are highly reactive composites described as consisting of a fuel (metal) and an oxidizer (metal oxide) at micron scale.

Burning structures and propagation mechanisms of nanothermites

open access: yesProceedings of the Combustion Institute, 2023
Nanothermites demonstrate attractive combustion characteristics such as tunable reactivity and high energy density. There is however a lack of fundamental understanding on their burning structures and reaction mechanisms due to the multi-scale complexity associated with the material and reaction heterogeneities.
