TL;DR: In this article, the present status and underlying challenges in synthesis process of boron nanoparticles, dispersion and stability of BORON nanoparticles in liquid hydrocarbon fuels, effect of surfactant or surface modification on dispersion stability, ignition and combustion characteristics of Boron loaded liquid fuel as well as particle combustion, understanding the positive thermal contribution from borón particles burning, and characterization of post-combustion products in terms of chemical and physical properties.

TL;DR: In this article, a high-speed imaging system was used to record the burning process of nanofuel droplets containing amorphous and crystalline boron nanoparticles at various particle loadings.

TL;DR: In this article, the combustion characteristics of ethanol/Jet A-1 fuel droplets having three different proportions of ethanol (10, 30, and 50% by vol.) are investigated.

TL;DR: The wrinkling pattern at the vapor-liquid interface suggests that a Rayleigh-Taylor type of instability triggered at the interface further expedites the droplet breakup.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple ball-milling technique was employed to prepare the catalyst coated samples, and this technique can be easily adapted for production of large batches of boron nanoparticles.
