After a brief introduction on selective laser melting (SLM) and “ex situ” manufacture of metal
matrix composites (MMCs), this paper reviews the capacities and benefits of SLM to activate …

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

Moving from a carbon-based to a carbon-free economy has driven the development of
groundbreaking new technologies for permanent plugged and abandoned (P&A) of mature …

This work investigates the effects of various Al alloys (including Al, AlMg1SiCu, and
AlSi10Mg), mixed with 15wt% Fe2O3, on the selective laser melting (SLM) facilitated in situ …

Thermite reactions are self-sustained exothermic reactions commonly employed in welding
processes of railway tracks, material synthesis and pyrotechnics, to mention a few …

Thermite has been considered as a potential alternative for the wellbore plug and
abandonment process. This new technology, thermal P&A, may substitute cementation as a …

Interest in the nanolaminated MAB phases, wherein M is a transition metal, A is typically Al,
and B is boron, has increased in recent years because some them have attractive …

Polymer matrix high-k composites are of considerable interest in various electronic devices,
such as capacitors, antennas, actuators, etc. However, how to enhance the permittivity …

Three kinds of octahydro-1, 3, 5, 7-tetranitro-1, 3, 5, 7-tetrazocine (HMX) samples with
spherical (β-phase), needle (γ-phase) and polyhedral (β-phase) shapes were fabricated by …

Thermite is a powerful energetic material that has potential application in the plug and
abandonment (P&A) process of wellbores. The solution named Thermal P&A has withdrawn …
