Enhanced Propellant Combustion with Nanoparticles
TLDR
In this paper, enhanced burn rate results were presented for ammonium perchlorate/Al nanoparticle strand burners at atmospheric (and higher) pressure and for the comparative combustion in a high pressure closed vessel of a solid propellant containing 15% of either conventional micrometer-scale Al or nanometric Al.Abstract:
Enhanced burn rate results are presented for ammonium perchlorate/Al nanoparticle strand burners at atmospheric (and higher) pressure and for the comparative combustion in a high pressure closed vessel of a solid propellant containing 15% of either conventional micrometer-scale Al or nanometric Al The burn rate at the smallest nanometric Al particle size appears to be asymptotically approaching an inverse particle-diameter-squared dependenceread more

Fully dense nano-composite energetic powders prepared by arrested reactive milling
TL;DR: In this paper, high-energy milling of these components leads to mechanical initiation of the reaction, and an experimental parametric study of reactive milling in the Al-MoO3 and Al-Fe2O3 systems was conducted to establish at which milling times the reaction is spontaneously initiated under various conditions.
