“…The results revealed that the addition of nano-metal powders slightly reduced the AP decomposition temperature. The use of ultra-fine or nano-aluminium in propellant combustion has been reported recently [2,[9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

Nano-aluminium particles are produced using the electric wire explosion process in an inert atmosphere at our institute. This paper reports the characterization of nanoaluminium particles in combination with other solid propellant ingredients for their thermal and combustion behaviour. High-heating-rate hot-stage microscopic experiments are performed with different mixtures of propellant ingredients. The effects of addition of nano-aluminium versus micron-sized aluminium in the middle lamina of sandwiches are analyzed for burning rates and by means of scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope micrographs of quench-collected aluminium agglomerates. Nano-aluminized sandwiches with thinner middle lamina show slightly higher burning rates than micron-sized aluminized ones. The quenched surface of nano-aluminized sandwiches shows relatively smaller aluminium agglomerates than with micron-sized aluminium. The resultant particle sizes of nano-aluminium agglomerates is in the range of 1-5 µm, which indicates a higher rate of agglomeration than with micro-aluminium, but these sizes are small relative to the agglomerates of the latter. This is also confirmed by quench-collected agglomerates of nano-aluminium emerging from the burning surface of a composite propellant.

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are promising materials for various biomedical applications including targeted drug delivery and imaging, hyperthermia, magneto-transfections, gene therapy, stem cell tracking, molecular/cellular tracking, magnetic separation technologies (e.g. rapid DNA sequencing), and detection of liver and lymph node metastases. The most recent applications for SPIONs for early detection of inflammatory, cancer, diabetes and atherosclerosis have also increased their popularity in academia. In order to increase the efficacy of SPIONs in the desired applications, especial surface coating/characteristics are required. The aim of this article is to review the surface properties of magnetic nanoparticles upon synthesis and the surface engineering by different coatings. The biological aspects, cytotoxicity, and health risks are addressed. Special emphasis is given to organic and inorganic-based coatings due to their determinant role in biocompatibility or toxicity of the final particles.

“…The dataset presented in Table 1 reports several literature studies of nAlloaded solid propellant formulations selected from [5,11,13,29,58]. This choice was made as the selected data on the burning rate also contained values of the BET-based particle sizes, analogous to the data considered for the DSC/ DTA/TGA analyses.…”

This article focuses on data analyses and comparisons for aluminium nanopowders (or nanoaluminium, nAl) reactions under slow (0.5-20.0 K/min, using DTA/DSC/TGA) and fast (>10000 K/min, combustion in solid propellant formulations) non-isothermal oxidation. Particle sizes were defined through the BET method. Active Al content was related with the averaged reactivity parameters, taken from published DTA/DSC/TGA data. The specific oxidation onset temperature for nAl was poorly correlated with the BET particle size under the conditions investigated. Furthermore, the BET particle size exhibited no correlation with the observed ballistic response (burning rate) at 3.0 MPa. A logarithmic correlation y = 17.484 ln(x) -5813, with R² = 0.73, was found between nAl particle size and its aluminium content. A calibration equation for the oxidation onset temperature as a function of nAl particle size was determined as y = −0.0071x 2 + 3.3173x + 479.32, with R² = 0.75. Specific features of the nAl (metallic aluminum content in nAl and the oxidation onset temperature) can be predicted based on the measured powder parameters (such as BET particle size).
