Purchasing Equipment to Enhance the Study of Porous Si Based Energetics
Abstract
The objective of this effort is to purchase several small equipment items to facilitate the investigation of our current ARO project on quantification of ignition properties of porous Si based energetics. The scientific research objective of this currently supported project (64944EG) is to quantitatively determine the ignition temperature and minimum ignition energy of porous Si based energetic materials and co correlate those ignition properties with the physical microstructures of porous Si and the chemical compositions of the oxidizers. The objective will be achieved through the purchase of a glove box for much better controlled synthesis of porous Si, a bomb calorimeter for heat of combustion measurement, an oxygen mass flow controller for precise gas control, a balance for precise sample mass measurement, and a flash unit and a spectroradiometer for flash ignition experiments. This equipment will greatly enhance the researcher s capability for the currently funded project, from synthesis, to measurement and characterization.
