Effect of Oxidizer Nanostructures on Propulsion Forces Generated by Thermal Ignition of Nano-Aluminum-Based Propellants

摘要

We demonstrated that the size and morphology of an oxidizer have strong effects on the propulsion forces of nano-Al-based propellants. Enhanced propulsion forces could be obtained through the creation and addition of various oxidizer nanoparticles and nanowires in nano-Al-based propellants.
