Research abstract

Energetic materials that store energy chemically are used as green primers or additives to propellants and explosives in military applications. Nanometer scale materials are of interest for energetic applications because their small particle size leads to enhanced burn rates and energy released, so the properties can be tuned. It is proposed to develop nano composite super thermites with tunable energy release using a high surface area particulate form of silicon that exhibits high reactivity with strong oxidizers. Metal oxide incorporation into this material by sol-gel methods will be investigated and the rates of reaction and energy released will be determined.
