Abstract :
The air force needs a variety of energetic materials, such as aircraft fuel, rocket propellants, and explosives. Nanoenergetic thermite materials release energy much faster than conventional energetic materials. We report here the development of nanoenergetic gas-generator (NGG) systems that may be used for various military applications. Our experiment revealed that the Al/Bi203 generates the highest pressure pulse among various thermite reaction mixtures. The addition of some boron to the reactant mixture increases the peak pressure release for MoO3/AI and WoO3/AI reactant mixtures.
