Particle Design: Formation and Processing (TWb) | |||
| #247 - Nanoenergetic materials processing (TWB04) | |||
| This session aims to encompass research in the area of the formation of reactive nanoparticles and their application in energetic systems. Contributions are solicited addressing both theoretical and experimental aspects of reaction kinetics, processing, and characterization of energetic materials involving nanoreactants. Formulations of energetic materials, where reactants consist of heterogeneous mixtures of powders, are sensitive to the interfacial area, degree of mixing, and surface to volume ratio of particles. This is in contrast to homogeneous energetic materials, where fuel and oxidizer are built into the same molecule. Advancements in the production of nano-sized elemental powders have elevated the importance of heterogeneous energetic formulations. Contributions that are related to scale–up and production of nanopowders and nanoenergetic materials are also invited. | |||
