Assessing Effects of Oxidizer Characteristics on Composite Reaction Kinetics.

摘要

Enhancing the performance and efficiency of energetic materials is what helps to keep our military on the forefront of cutting edge weapon research and advancements. Whether it s increasing the energetic output, improving burn rates or decreasing sensitivity, the ability to tailor materials to a specified goal provides a foundation for continued improvements. This body of work investigates and assesses the effects of oxygen scavenging additives, varying molecular composition, and fragmental reactions on the reaction kinetics and thermal behaviors of different energetic compositions.
