Advances and Upcoming Research Strategies in Reactive Materials, Fall 2017 MRS
Abstract
The annual Fall MRS Meeting features over 50 symposia, and is attended by as many as 6,000researchers. It is the preeminent event f"or those in the field of materials research. Sessionsdedicated to energetic materials research have been held at the Fall MRS Meeti"ng in 2011, 2012,2014, and have received excellent attendance, at times exceeding room capacity. Over the yearsthis meeting has be"en one in which the latest ideas in the area of energetics have been presented.The recurring themes in past years were related to t"he synthesis of new materials, particularlyrelating to the introduction of nanoparticles or nanoscale features, the modeling of rea""ctions inenergetic materials, and diagnostics suitable for the very short timescales and violentenvironments involved with energet""ics. In the more recent past new manufacturing techniqueswere used to control architecture, stoichiometry, or reactant spacing allo"wing for new ways totune energetic material reactivity. In 2017 the program includes many new participants both fromEurope and fro"m the US, thus continuing to draw from the best the world has to offer in thisfield.
