Fundamental Reactive Characterization of Novel Nano-Scale Assembled Fuel/Oxidizers Using a New Mass-Spectrometry T-Jump Approach

Abstract

The basic objective of this program is to explore new architectures for energetic materials, and to use novel diagnostic tools that probe the underlying nature of reactivity of this class of materials. The specific objective of this program are two fold. A. Development of novel architectures for reactive metals. B. Characterization of nanoparticle reactivity, and development of scaling laws from novel measurements of reactivity using a new concept in mass spectrometry (T-Jump Mass Spectrometry; TJMS)
