Research abstract
This Phase I STTR ARMY project proposes the development of advanced processes to mix solutions of low melting temperature sublimable solid eutectic materials with nano-sized metal flake powders and then solidify these slurries into a desired shape compact. The main project goals are to accomplish good metal flake powder deagglomeration in the liquid eutectic phase, to attain good densification after solidification of the liquid for efficient volume limited transport, and to accomplish subsequent aerosolization of the compact using heat, airflow, explosive, or a pneumatic grenade. To measure the performance of the dried packed metal nanoflakes, the extinction coefficient will be measured in the ECBC smoke test chamber.
