Reaction Mechanisms and Velocity in Dense, Layered, Nanoenergetic Materials
Abstract
This project served to extend the development of nanoscale thermite-based energetic materials and consisted of the four following tasks which have been completed. 1) Develop an optical time-of-flight reaction velocity measurement technique suitable for use with free-standing nanolayered thin films. 2) Continue examination of the Al/CuO materials system to assess an empirical upper limit for the reaction velocity as a function of thin film processing and layer structure. 3) Provide samples to collaborators, for further characterization of the reaction process and mechanisms. 4) Continue the development of sample handling procedures for these materials.
