Abstract
An energetic material comprising an elemental fuel, an oxidizer or other element, and a carbon nanofiller or carbon fiber rods, where the carbon nanofiller or carbon fiber rods are substantially homogeneously dispersed in the energetic material. Methods of tailoring the electrostatic discharge sensitivity of an energetic material are also disclosed.
Claims23
An energetic material comprising:
- an elemental fuel;
- an oxidizer or at least one other element;
- and
- a carbon nanofiller,
- wherein the carbon nanofiller is substantially homogeneously dispersed in the energetic material.
2 more elements
A method of tailoring electrostatic discharge sensitivity of an energetic material, comprising:
- substantially homogeneously dispersing a carbon nanofiller with an elemental fuel and an oxidizer or at least one other element to form an energetic material.
An energetic material comprising:
- an elemental fuel, an oxidizer, and carbon fiber rods,
- wherein the carbon fiber rods are substantially homogeneously dispersed in the energetic material.
