A latent highly activity energetic fuel: thermal stability and interfacial reaction kinetics of selected fluoropolymer encapsulated sub-micron sized Al particles

Abstract Aluminum can enhance heat release of energetic composite in theory. However, the commonly used micron aluminum powder has several short comings like incomplete reaction and low reaction rate. Meanwhile, outer oxide shell of nano Al particle is thicker than micro Al, which leads to low activ...
