Controlled Substrate Destruction Using Nanothermite
The experiments described in this paper look to further transient electronic device development by exploring the fracturing capabilities of aluminum copper (II) oxide and aluminum bismuth (III) oxide nanothermites. In particular, a quick, inexpensive test was developed that was able to characterize the substrate fracturing capability of these ...

Reduced-Sensitivity Nanothermites Containing Manganese Oxide Filled Carbon Nanofibers
Nanothermites are versatile pyrotechnic systems composed of a metal oxide and a reducing metal powder, such as aluminum. The high mechanical sensitivity of some of these mixtures (e.g., MnO2/Al) makes their handling hazardous.

Electrostatic Discharge Sensitivity and Resistivity Measurements of Al Nanothermites and Their Fuel and Oxidant Precursors [PDF]
The sensitivity of nanothermites to electrostatic discharge (ESD) has been noted by many authors. In the present work, nanothermites have been prepared using aluminium fuels with oxide (O-Al), palmitic acid (L-Al) and Viton (V-Al) passivation and CuO ...

Recent trends in nanothermites: Fabrication, characteristics and applications
Abstract Energetic materials (EMs) are a group of distinctive materials that release an enormous amount of amassed chemical energy in a short time when incited by external mechanical or thermal factors. They comprise of propellants, explosives, and pyrotechnics.

The initiation temperatures in nanothermite reactions
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.

Сombustion of Micro- and Nanothermites under Elevating Pressure
AbstractNon-equilibrium process of combustion-wave propagation of thermite compositions (Mg/Fe2O3) inside the sealed steel tube have been investigated to study the burning rate at elevating pressure. Under confinement the hot gas-phase products, formed during thermite combustion result in considerable overpressure inside the tube that reverses the gas ...

Effect of additives on CuO/Al nanothermite properties
The effect of additives on CuO/Al nanothermite properties is reported. The incorporation of additives resulted in the decreased sensitivity. It had an adverse impact on gas dynamic characteristics of CuO/Al nanothermite, up to the loss of the unique capability of burning in narrow channels.
