Aluminium Nanoparticles

Aluminium Nanoparticles Energetic materials find use in both military and civilian applications, however many commonly used materials suffer from serious deficiencies including toxicity and high sensitivity. nanothermites is a current hot topic in the field of energetic materials. Energetic materials are a class of materials containing both fuel and oxidizer in a mixture or within a single compound, and include all the broad areas of propellants, explosives and pyrotechnics. For thermite-type reactions, a metal oxide is the oxidizer, and aluminum the fuel. Aluminium nanoparticles are one of the most important nanoparticles because of their applications. These nanoparticles have many important applications that include: pyrotechnic, propellant, explosive industries, rocket fuel, igniter, smokes, tracers, alloy powder metallurgy parts for automobiles and aircrafts, heat shielding coatings of aircrafts, corrosion, resistant, conductive and heat reflecting paints, conductive and decorative plastics, soldering and termite welding.
