Synthesis, Formulation, Modeling, and Diagnostics of Energetic Materials for Explosive and Propellant Applications
Abstract
This effort pursues novel approaches to synthesize and scale up disruptive and traditional energetic materials with increased performance as well as design new formulation avenues in order to discover new materials and formulations to extend range and increase effect on target. This effort develops, codes, and subsequently employs advanced models to predict multiscale response of energetic materials for both propellant and explosive purposes. This effort develops new simulation and small scale experimental methods and techniques for understanding and design of advanced concepts and energetic formulations to rapidly iterate and optimize parameters to enable a "fail early, fail often" strategy towards increased range and enhanced lethality. This effort also investigates new propellants and grain designs, burn rate/combustion modifier ingredients, as well as new gun and munition designs for extended range.
