Low-temperature exothermic reactions in fully-dense Al/MoO3 nanocomposite powders

Molecular dynamic simulation of thermite reaction of Al nanosphere/Fe2O3 nanotube

“…As to demand propelled towards faster, various methods used for synthesizing nanothermites are proposed in the last two decades, such as sol-gel [6][7][8], physical mixing with sonication [9][10][11][12], arrested reactive milling [13,14] and sputtering [15,16] syntheses. Meanwhile, some oxidizers with the novel structures including nanotube [17], nanorod and nanowire [18] are successfully prepared and involved in the nanothermite.…”

Thermal Properties and Kinetics of Al/α-MnO2 Nanostructure Thermite

“…And some residual cyclohexane was desorbed from the surface in the meantime. 35 Then, the second mass loss (∆M 150-300 about 2.14%) in region from 150 to 300 °C relates to the removal of structural water from α-MnO 2 nanorods. 36 With the application of hydrothermal method, the water structure could exist in the structure of the α-MnO 2 nanorods.…”

Correlating ignition mechanisms of aluminum-based reactive materials with thermoanalytical measurements

“…Typical experimental data are illustrated in Fig. 30 [153,154]. For both materials, the heat release is well quantified and a strong function of temperature.…”

“…Although formation of some intermixed layer is inevitable, such layers are expected to be substantially thinner than a natural alumina film existing on surface of aluminum exposed to an oxidizing gas environment. [137,139,152,153] thermites prepared by arrested reactive milling. Characteristic DSC traces for both materials are shown in Fig.…”

“…Additional experimental studies focusing on the lowtemperature reactions exploited isothermal and scanning microcalorimetry using a TAM III calorimeter by TA Instruments [144,145,153,154]. Reaction rates were quantified at temperatures as low as 303 K for Al$MoO 3 and Al$CuO thermites.…”
