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 …

In order to solve the problems of the complicated forming process, poor adaptability, low
safety, and high cost of special-shaped energetic grains, light-curing 3D printing technology …

To date, the use of high explosives (HEs) has been largely limited to their crystalline forms.
The glassy forms of these materials have not received much attention. While the highest …

Thin‐film organic materials are broadly used to study amorphous stabilization of active
pharmaceuticals, control explosive detonation phenomena, and introduce insulation in …

Shock initiation of heterogeneous high-energy density materials is mediated by the
formation of hotspots, and the collapse of porosity is considered the dominant mechanism …

Cohesive Hamaker constants of solid materials are measured via optical and dielectric
properties (ie, Lifshitz theory), inverse gas chromatography (IGC), and contact angle …

The nature of the crystal growth process in explosives can dramatically impact their safety
and performance. Thin films are a commonly used tool for investigating the fundamental …

Physical vapor deposition of organic explosives enables growth of polycrystalline films with
a unique microstructure and morphology compared to the bulk material. This study …

The microstructure of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) films fabricated by physical vapor
deposition can be altered substantially by changing the surface energy of the substrate on …

Confining an explosive can cause substantial changes in its detonation behavior, but the
amount of confinement needed and the magnitude of the effect on quantities such as …
