Metal particles are attractive candidate fuels for various propulsion and energy-conversion
applications, primarily due to their high energy densities. Micron-sized particles present …

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

The modern “energetic‐on‐a‐chip” trend envisages reducing size and cost while increasing
safety and maintaining the performance of energetic articles. However, the fabrication of …

Joining and welding using a nanothermite is a matter of exercising control to introduce the
energy needed to perform the weld at a required rate and duration sufficient to reach the …

3D-printing methods are used to generate reactive material architectures. We observed
several geometric parameters in order to influence the resultant flame propagation velocity …

Electrophoretic deposition was used to deposit thin films (∼ 10–200 μm) of nano-
aluminum/copper oxide thermites, with a density of 29% the theoretical maximum. The …

The effect of aluminum size on confined flame propagation velocities in thermite composites
was investigated between 108 μm and 80 nm, and in all cases using nanometric copper …

Time-resolved x-ray imaging is used to capture high-resolution images of the Al/Fe 2 O 3
thermite reaction as it proceeds in an extended burn tube. The observed thermite reaction …
