Al-based Energetic Nano MaterialsDesign, Manufacturing, Properties and Applications\nAuthor(s): Carole Rossi\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc, United Kingdom\nImprint: ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc\nISBN-13: 9781848217171, 978-1848217171\nSynopsis\nOver the past two decades, the rapid development of nanochemistry and nanotechnology has allowed the synthesis of various materials and oxides in the form of nanopowders making it possible to produce new energetic compositions and nanomaterials.\n\n This book has a bottom-up structure, from nanomaterials synthesis to the application fields. Starting from aluminum nanoparticles synthesis for fuel application, it proposes a detailed state-of-the art of the different methods of preparation of aluminum-based reactive nanomaterials. It describes the techniques developed for their characterization and, when available, a description of the fundamental mechanisms responsible for their ignition and combu.
