The current status of research in the field of combustion of heterogeneous nanostructural
systems is reviewed. Four classes of reactive media are considered: nanothermites, sol …

Reactive and energetic materials are typically metastable and are expected to transform into
thermodynamically favorable reaction products with substantial energy release. Preparation …

One of the open questions in understanding the reactivity of nanometric metal/metal oxide
particulate composites is the relative role of gas–solid vs. condensed state reactions. This …

Self-propagating reactions in Al/Ni nanostructured multilayer foils are examined both
experimentally and computationally to determine the impact of variations in reactant spacing …

Written with both postgraduate students and researchers in academia and industry in mind,
this reference covers the chemistry behind metal nanopowders, including production …

Experimental and theoretical studies on heterogeneous exothermic reaction waves in
multilayer nanofilms are analysed. Mathematical models for the reaction wave propagation …
