Abstract

Nanoenergetic materials became available during last three decades and offer a promise of much higher energy densities and faster rate of energy release than conventional explosives and solid propellants. The energy densities in nanoenergetic devices can reach 50MJ/kg. Extremely fast burning rates exceeding 3 km/s can be realized in the combustion of porous silicon nanoenergetic composites. The chapter presents a brief review of novel achievements in studying the reaction mechanisms of nanoenergetic materials. This knowledge would allow the creation of molecularly manipulated energetic substances and formulations with well-tailored chemical and physical properties.
