Encapsulated energetic materials and methods of making encapsulated energetic materials

Abstract

Embodiments of the current disclosure include energetic microcapsules, comprising: a core comprising a first energetic material; and a shell comprising a second energetic material encapsulating the core, wherein the first energetic material is different from the second energetic material, and wherein the core is 15% to 70% by weight of the energetic microcapsule and the shell is 30% to 85% by weight of the energetic microcapsule. Embodiments of the current disclosure further include methods of forming an energetic microcapsule, comprising: mixing an organic phase monomer and an aqueous phase monomer to form an emulsion; curing the emulsion at a predetermined temperature to form the energetic microcapsule; and coating the energetic microcapsule with a thermoplastic coating.
