3D printed fluoropolymer-based energetic compositions

A 3D printed polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based energetic material comprising a plurality of layers that consist essentially of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and aluminum,

• wherein one or more layer of said a plurality of layers has a thickness of at least 200 μm,
• wherein the 3D printed polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based energetic material is substantially free of any other polymer and is prepared by a 3D printing method, wherein the method comprises:
• a) preparing a pellet that consist essentially of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and aluminum;
• b) preparing a filament by adding the pellet to a filament extruder;
• and
• c) 3D printing the filament to provide the 3D printed polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based energetic material at a temperature below the onset to reaction temperature of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF).
