The aim of this review article on recent developments of mechanochemistry (nowadays
established as a part of chemistry) is to provide a comprehensive overview of advances …

A recently suggested melt-dispersion mechanism (MDM) for fast reaction of aluminium (Al)
nano-and a few micrometre-scale particles during fast heating is reviewed. Volume …

Micrometer‐sized aluminum is widely used in energetics; however, performance of
propellants, explosives, and pyrotechnics could be significantly improved if its ignition …

Fluoropolymers have long served as potent oxidizers for metal-based pyrolant designs for
the preparation of energetic materials. Commercial perfluoropolyethers (PFPEs), specifically …

Heterogeneous oxidation of aluminum is rate limited by diffusion through a growing
aluminum oxide layer. If inward diffusion of oxygen ions is faster than outward diffusion of …

The performance of aluminum nanomaterial based energetic formulations is dependent on
the mass transport, diffusion distance, and stability of reactive components. Here we use a …

Nanoaluminum powder (nAl, nominal size of particles 50 nm and 100 nm), obtained by
electrical explosion of wires, was passivated by air and coated by several different protective …

Aluminum nanopowder (nAl) obtained by electrical explosion of wires and
passivated/coated with hydrocarbons and fluorohydrocarbons is comprehensively …

Composite energetic material response to electrical stimuli was investigated and a
correlation between electrical conductivity and ignition sensitivity was examined. The …

Silicon-based nanoenergetics have great potential due to silicon's good thermochemical
properties, high active content, and surface modification potential. The combustion …
