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

This review focuses on the properties of reactive materials (RMs) that enable exothermic
formation reactions and their application as local heat sources. We examine how the heat …

We have joined titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) specimens at room temperature and in air by using
free-standing nanostructured Al∕ Ni multilayer foils to melt a silver-based braze. The foils …

Multi material pairings like metal-plastic hybrid compounds are becoming increasingly
important across all industrial sectors. However, the substitution of metals by plastics leads …

Abstract 3 mm× 3 mm dummy SiC dies with 100\200\200 nm thick Ti\W\Au metallization
have simultaneously been attached using sintering of Ag nanoparticle paste on AlN-based …

A comparative study, including experiments and molecular dynamic simulation, of the
combustion waves in the Ni/Al multilayer reactive nanofoils reveals unknown mechanisms of …

A class of non-detonating materials capable of highly exothermic reactions, referred to as
reactive materials (RMs), has been subjected to extensive recent studies. Examples include …

The past two decades have witnessed the rapid development of nanocalorimetry, a novel
materials characterization technique that employs micromachined calorimetric sensors. The …
