Condensed energetic composites were produced from poly (vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) and
nano-scale aluminum (Al) via injection molding. This work aimed to (1) resolve changes in …

The preparation and energy release mechanism of highly reactive n-Al/F-polymer
metastable intermixed composites are both desirable and challenging. In this study, we …

Highly reactive aluminum-fluorine composites with novel structures have attracted much
attention in the past decades. However, there is not a specific mechanism to explain the …

We have produced passivating coatings on 80-nm aluminum particles by plasma-enhanced
chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). Three organic precursors isopropyl alcohol, toluene …

Aluminum (Al) fuel particles are used in a variety of energetic formulations yet harvesting
