Reactive Nanolaminates with Tailored Yield

Abstract

During the final program year, the NCSU team completed a surface science study exploring the virgin interfaces in reactive nanolaminates, completed a calorimetry study of three different thermite families, and initiated a Kirkendall-type experiment in Zr-CuO layered structure. Collectively, this learning completed the overarching program objective of predicting and tailoring the performance of nanolaminates using the material properties of the termial oxide phase. In addition, the team developed a modeling approach that can predict time dependent temperature profiles of electrically ignited thermite multilayers, and can predict/recreate differential scanning calorimetry experiments.
