Architecting nano‐Al/HMX/CuO energetic micro‐units unlocks superior interface and highly efficient combustion

open access: yesInfoMat, EarlyView.
Improving the dispersion of nano‐aluminum is of great importance in explosives and propellants. The spherical Al/HMX/CuO energetic micro‐units were prepared using microchannel technology, which significantly improved the uniformity and dispersion of nano‐Al. It also enhanced the mass and heat transfer efficiency between the fuel and oxidizer components,
