This review presents a glossary and review of terminology used to describe the chemical
and physical processes involved in soot formation and evolution and is intended to aid in …

We derive from the first principles new hydrodynamic equations—Smoluchowski-Euler
equations for aggregation kinetics in space-inhomogeneous fluids with fluxes. Starting from …

Transit through the carbon liquid phase has significant consequences for the subsequent
formation of solid nanocarbon detonation products. We report dynamic measurements of …

Polymers and foams are pervasive in everyday life, as well as in specialized contexts such
as space exploration, industry, and defense. They are frequently subject to shock loading in …

Reducing the formation of large carbon clusters during the combustion of energetic
materials (EMs) and improving their comprehensive performance hold great significance …

We describe a machine learning approach to rapidly tune density functional tight binding
models for the description of detonation chemistry in organic molecular materials. Resulting …

Characterization of the initial morphology of detonation nanodiamond (DND) has been the
focus of many research studies that aim to develop a fundamental understanding of carbon …

We describe the development of a reactive force field for C/O systems under extreme
temperatures and pressures, based on the many-body Chebyshev Interaction Model for …

It has become increasingly important to add Al nanoparticles (ANPs) into energetic materials
(EMs) to overcome the issue of Al particles aggregation and promote the efficiency of heat …

As the only solid detonation product of CHNO negative oxygen balance explosive, the
condensed carbon plays an important role in the energy-releasing and working capability by …
