Reactivity of nanothermite-based micro energetic sticks prepared by direct ink writing

Chuanhao Xu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the laser ignition and combustion propagation behavior of energetic sticks at the micro scale, prepared through a direct ink writing (DIW) platform. The relationship between stick diameter and laser ignition threshold is nearly linear and dominated by reactant characteristics. Most energetic sticks can have their combustion velocities regulated by modulating the diameter, but combustion termination may occur under certain conditions. The combustion velocity-stick diameter curves exhibit plateaus with diverse ranges, and the samples have different capabilities in terms of turning corners and jumping ignition at specific diameters.

Superior performance of quaternary NC/GO/Al/KClO4 nanothermite for high speed impulse small-scale propulsion applications

Ahmed Fahd et al.

Summary: By introducing nitrocellulose (NC) into nanothermites, significant enhancements in combustion performance, including thrust output, specific and volumetric impulses, and total heat released, are achieved. Thermal analysis suggests that the addition of NC introduces another step in the GO/Al/KClO4 reaction, with the liquid-liquid phase diffusion reaction increasing with NC percentage. Electrospinning is a simple technique for preparing quaternary nanothermites that results in improved combustion performance and enhanced suitability for small-scale propulsion applications.
