Active aluminum composites are considered to be ideal materials that can be applied to
mobile hydrogen sources in light of their high hydrogen generation efficiency, simple …

Nanotechnology has stimulated revolutionary advances in many scientific and industrial
fields, particularly in energetic materials. Powder mixing is the simplest and most traditional …

In solid propellants, aluminum is widely used to improve performance, yet theoretical
specific impulse is still not achieved largely because of two-phase flow losses. Losses could …

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

Micrometer‐sized aluminum is widely used in energetics; however, performance of
propellants, explosives, and pyrotechnics could be significantly improved if its ignition …

New classes of reactive systems that are characterized by nano-scale heterogeneity and
possess extremely high reactivity, as compared to that for similar reactive systems with micro …

An efficient approach that combines short-term (minutes) high-energy dry ball milling and
wet grinding to tailor the nano-and microstructure of Ni+ Al composite reactive particles is …

The review concerns the results of recent experimental, theoretical and applied studies on
mechanical activation of reactive powder compositions and self-propagating high …

We use pulses of electrical, mechanical, and thermal energy to determine the ignition
thresholds of self-propagating reactions in Al/(Ni-7 V) and Al/Inconel multilayers. The energy …

Ni–Al energetic structural materials (ESMs) has been widely applied in defense field,
because of its good mechanical and energy release properties. The effects of the …
