Aluminum Nanoparticles

Aluminum Nanoparticles for Explosive has been added to a range of compositions to increase their performance through raising reaction energies, flame temperatures, and increasing blast rates. Nanoparticles of aluminium are more favourable because of their high enthalpy of combustion and rapid kinetics which increase these reaction properties even further. It is known that nano-sized aluminum particles is a new energetic material with very high reactivity because of large specific surface area, and is expected to be applied to a next generation propellant in the field of aerospace applications. The reactivity of aluminum nanoparticles depends on the particle diameter. It is reported that 30-50nm aluminum nanoparticles are most sensitive.
