Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) has unique thermal and optical properties, making it suitable for advanced infrared decoy flares. Various characterization techniques confirmed the structure of RGO. Composite flares with RGO showed superior spectral intensity and radiometric performance.
Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) possesses unique thermal and optical properties. It could act as black body emitter with high-infrared emissivity. RGO could meet wide applications in advanced infrared decoy flares. In this study, RGO nano-sheets were synthesized through the reduction of GO after applying Hummers' method using graphite powder as a precursor. The synthesized RGO owns 10 mu m dimensions and 10 nm thicknesses. TEM analysis revealed the amorphous structure of the prepared nano-sheets. XRD diffractogram demonstrated the amorphous RGO structure. Moreover, Raman spectroscopy confirmed the complete reduction of GO into RGO. In addition, decoy flare formulations based on RGO, reactive metal fuels, and fluorocarbon polymer were developed. Additionally, thermal signature was evaluated using Arc-Optics IR spectrometer (1-6 mu m) to reference formulation. Our results revealed that nanocomposite flare based on 6 wt % RGO demonstrated superior spectral intensity with an increase in average intensity by 147%. Moreover, advanced radiometric performance with superior relative intensity value (& x19f;) of 0.7 was recorded. To sum up, RGO can act as an excellent source of carbonaceous materials that can strengthen incandescence emission. Surplus magnesium could vaporize and combust with substantial heat output that could promote black body emission.
