2018 Energetic Materials Gordon Research Conference

Abstract

This is a proposal requesting support in the amount of $15,000 to be used to provide registration and/or travel support of key participants attending the 2018 Energetic Materials Gordon Research Conference.The focus of this conference is current basic research in the broad field of energetic materials and covers topics ranging from novel synthesis and scale-up of new materials, advanced diagnostics and experimental techniques, nanoscale, non-crystalline and additively-manufactured energeticmaterials, and new theoretical methods and models for simulating the behavior of energetic materials, including detonation, ignition/initiation, sub-detonative response, and thermal decomposition. This area is particularly relevant to the research objectives in energetic materials programs supported by ONR.The objective of the conference is to bring together leading scientists from the international community, as well as young researchers and students. This helps to build a network of scientists who can benefit from exposure to a wide range of subjects, all encompassed by this multi-disciplinary field. The discussion leaders and speakers for the conference have been chosen to cover many technical areas within energetic materials, and to include establishedleaders as well as emerging contributors to the field who have already demonstrated their excellence.
