Regarding energy storage, one of the most important research directions is the development of CNMs as carriers of energetic components by coating or encapsulation, thus forming safer advanced nanostructures with better performances. Meanwhile, some of the CNMs can also be functionalized to become energetic additives. This review article covers updated preparation methods for the aforementioned CNMs, with a more specific orientation towards the use of these nanomaterials in energetic compositions. Besides, the effects of these functionalized CNMs on thermal decomposition, ignition, combustion and reactivity properties of energetic compositions are significant, which are further discussed with more details. It has been shown that the use of functionalized CNMs in energetic compositions would greatly improve their combustion performances, thermal stability and sensitivity. In particular, the functionalized Fullerene, CNTs and GO are the most appropriate candidate components in nanothermites, solid propellants and gas generators, due to their superior catalytic properties as well as facile preparation methods. Manuscript Introduction nanomaterials (CNMs) have been developed as carriers of EMs, combining to form advanced structures with higher performances. Energetic materials (EMs) are a class of material with high Some of them, as coating or encapsulating materials, is also very amount of stored chemical energy that can be released in a fast 5 effective in improving the safety of energetic systems . way, and the typical classes of EMs include explosives, pyrotechnics It’s well known that solid carbon materials (SCMs) can be and propellants. Gunpowder (GP), invented in ancient China, is found in different forms of bulk phases (e.g. Diamonds) as well as considered as the first EMs in human history. It is a mixture of 6 more molecular forms (e.g. fullerenes) . In fact, CNMs has a unique sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate (saltpeter). Charcoal as form place in nanoscience owing to their exceptional electrical, thermal, of carbon together with sulfur are fuels, while the saltpeter is an Accepted chemical and mechanical properties. They have found application in oxidizer1,2. Due to promising heat and gas generation properties, GP diverse areas as composite materials, energy storage and has been widely used as firearm propellant and pyrotechnic conversion, sensors, drug delivery, field emission devices and composition. As a primitive energetic composition, the GP is no nanoscale electronic components, due to strong adsorption longer widely in use and replaced by more advanced energetic capacity, chemical stability, high mechanical strength as well as easy systems both in civil and military applications, which are still under 7 modification . Currently, several kinds of SCMs could be used in the fast development. In past decades, researchers are seeking safer field of EMs, which can be divided into two groups. One group is energetic materials with better performance, which implies four nano-powdered carbon, such as carbon black (CB) and aspects: high energetic, insensitive, nontoxic, and environmental 3 nanodiamond, where the latter can be used as a reducing agent in friendly . In newly developed propellants and explosives, the 8 energetic compositions . Another one is CNMs with rich pore carbon-rich materials are thereby gradually replaced by high Nanoscale structure and large surface area, including fullerenes, expanded nitrogen materials (HNMs) with higher energy content and better graphite (EG), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, and graphene oxygen balance4. However, these HNMs are in most cases not safe oxide (GO). The application of these materials in the field of enough for practical applications.

Abstract: Aerospace missions require that pyrotechnic compositions are able to withstand 180 ◦C. Therefore, this paper studies the thermal stability and output performance of boron/potassium nitrate (abbreviated BPN) used in pyrotechnic devices. Firstly, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric (TG) tests are used to analyze the thermal reaction process of KNO3, boron, and BPN to qualitatively judge their thermal stability. Then, apparent morphology analysis, component analysis, and the p-t curve test, which is the closed bomb test to measure the output power of the pyrotechnic composition, are carried out with BPN samples before and after the high-temperature test to verify BPN stability at 180 ◦C.

Bement June 1988 Nat~onalAeronaul~cs and Space Adm~nistrat~on Langley Research Center Hampton,Virginia 23665-5225 PREFACE This paper was motivated by an early 1986 expression of concern about recent problems and failures of flight pyrotechnic hardware by Norman R. Schulze, NASA Headquarters, then Office of the Chief Engineer, and now Office of Safety, Reliability, Maintainability and Quality Assurance. The Langley Research Center (LaRC) was requested to take the lead role in compiling an investigation about the extent of this problem and to explore the technical understanding of the field of pyrotechnic technology. The emphasis on this effort is substantiated by the overall assumption in the design community that pyrotechnics are simple, well-defined and thoroughly understood devices to which we routinely entrust mission-critical as well as safety-of-flight func- tions. The first action was a May 15, 1986, NASA/DOD survey from Langley entitled, "Solicitation of Interest in a Coordinated Pyrotechnic Technology Effort Among Centers." Two meetings followed, one on November 13 and 14, 1986, at the NASA Langley Research Center, and the other on April 29 and 30, 1987, at the NASA Johnson Space Center, with representatives from each NASA Center, the Air Force Space Division, and the Naval Surface Warfare Center. These representatives are now the nucleus of the NASA/DOD Aerospace Pyrotechnic Systems Steering Committee, whose objective is to provide the NASA and DOD with a policy and posture which will increase the safety, performance, quality and reliability of aerospace pyrotechnic systems.

  • Manganese As Fuel in Slow-Burning Pyrotechnic Time Delay Compositions
    Manganese as Fuel in Slow-Burning Pyrotechnic Time Delay Compositions 1 1 1∗ Darren Swanepoel , Olinto Del Fabbro and Walter W. Focke 1Institute of Applied Materials, Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Pretoria, Lynnwood Road, Pretoria, South Africa 2 † Corrie Conradie 2Research and Technology, African Explosives Limited, PO Modderfontein, 1645, South Africa Abstract Manganese metal was evaluated as a fuel for slow-burning delay compositions press- filled in aluminium or compaction-rolled in lead tubes. Oxides of antimony, bismuth, copper, manganese and vanadium were considered as oxidants. Measured burn rates for binary mixtures varied between 5 and 22 mm/s but slower burning ternary and quaternary compositions were also found. The addition of fumed silica to the Mn/MnO2 system had little effect on the propagation rate but a low level addition of hollow glass sphere significantly reduced the burn rate. Mn – MnO2 mixtures showed reliable burning over a wide stoichiometric range. In this system the fuel and the oxidant share a common metal. They combine to form the more stable intermediate oxide (MnO) releasing considerable quantities of heat in the process. Keywords: Pyrotechnics, Time delay, Manganese, Antimony oxide, Fumed silica 1 Introduction Commercial detonator delay element assemblies comprise an ignition source, a small- diameter tube containing a compacted pyrotechnic composition and an ignition transfer system [1, 2]. The pyrotechnic composition is a mixture of an oxidising agent and a fuel capable of an exothermic redox reaction. Following ignition, a combustion wave travels down along the tube at a constant velocity. This ensures the transmission of the initiation impulse to the detonator in a precisely adjustable time interval.

However, established primer technologies pose both direct and indirect risks to health and safety. This review analyses a new generation of primer materials and ignition control mechanisms that have been developed to address these risks in firearms. Electrically or optically initiated metal, oxide and semiconductor-based devices show promise as alternatives for heavy metal percussive primers. The prospects for wider use of low-cost, safe, reliable and non-toxic primers are discussed in view of these developments. Keywords: primers; semiconductor bridges; thermites; energetic materials 1. Introduction The evolution of energetic material technology is important and is constantly progressing. Energetic materials typically fall into three categories: explosives that are designed to detonate, propellants that generally deflagrate, or pyrolants that can deflagrate or detonate [1–3].
