Disruptive Approaches to Energetic Material Synthesis: Nanosecond Cold Liquid Plasma (NCLP) for the Synthesis of New Nitrogen Polymers and Other Novel Nitrogen-based Materials

Abstract

The project objective is to explore the possibility and fundamental science of the synthesis of nitrogen polymers and other novel nitrogen-based materials using fundamentally new phenomenon of nanosecond pulsed cold liquid plasma (NCLP). Recently discovered new physical process of NCLP is a phenomenon of direct ionization of liquid phase by sharp high electric field pulses without heating. The proposed NCLP technique wil lpotentially allow the generation of metastable (or possibly stable at ambient conditions) new energetic materials which are currently unrecoverable.
