This Review aims to be a comprehensive, authoritative, and critical review of general
interest to the chemistry community (both academia and industry) as it contains an extensive …

Abstract The RDX, HMX, and AP are currently the most widely used energetic ingredients in
composite solid propellants, since the newly developed energetic compounds are still …

In the last two decades, major progresses have been made in developing highly-exothermic
reactive mixtures. Mixtures of metallic and oxide powders, so-called nanothermites have …

Fluorine containing oxidizers, primarily polymers, are extensively used in pyrotechnic
compositions. Fluorinated oxidizers are less explored for metalized propellants and …

Energetic thin films with high mass loadings of nanosized components have been recently
fabricated using electrospray deposition. These films are composed of aluminum …

Aluminum (Al) particles are passivated by an aluminum oxide (Al2O3) shell. Energetic
blends of nanometer-sized Al particles with liquid perfluorocarbon-based oxidizers such as …

One of the challenges in the use of energetic nanoparticles within a polymer matrix is the
difficulty in processing by traditional mixing methods. In this paper, electrospray deposition is …

Aluminum based energetic nanomaterials attract significant attention for various applications
owing to their ultrahigh energy density. The main obstacle in the application of nano-Al …

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

Recently fluoropolymers are of great interest as an oxidative binder and modifier in Al-based
metastable intermixed composites (MICs) due to the high heat of reaction between Al-F and …
