Nanoenergetic composite based on I2O5/Al for biological agent defeat

Hobosyan M., Kazansky A., Martirosyan K.S., University of Texas at Brownsville, US

The risk of bioterrorism events involving the intentional airborne release of contagious agents has led to development of new approaches for bio agent defeat technologies both indoors and outdoors. This report describes nanoenergetic gas generators [...]

Rapid oxidation and self-heating model of aluminum spherical nanoparticles

Zyskin M., Martirosyan K.S., University of Texas at Brownsville, US

Nanostructured highly-exothermic reactive mixtures, referred to as Nanoenergetic Materials (NM) or Metastable Intermolecular Composites (MIC), may release energy much faster than conventional energetic materials. The size reduction of reactant powders such as aluminum from micro- [...]

Tuning the Gas Pressure Discharge of Nanoenergetic materials by Boron and Carbon Nanotube Additives

Martirosyan K.S., Wang L., Luss D., University of Texas at Brownsville, US

Thermite reactions are highly exothermic and may rapidly release high amount of stored chemical energy in the form of heat, light and wave. Nanothermite formulations that use aluminum or magnesium as the reducing agent and [...]

Development of nanoenergetic materials based on Al/I2O5 system

Martirosyan K.S., Wang L., Luss D., University of Houston, US

This report presents a novel nanoenergetic system based on iodine oxide and aluminum thermite reaction and the study of their gas generation and thermal wave behavior during the detonation. The ignition of homogeneous mixture of [...]
