Abstract
Tuning the microstructure of composite energetic materials is an effective way to improve charging, safety, and combustion performance. In this paper, boron (B)/barium chromate (BaCrO4) composite particles with controllable microstructure were prepared using droplet microfluidic technology (DMT). Based on the theory of droplet template self-assembly, composite particles with controllable morphology, size, and composition were prepared, revealing the regulation mechanism of the particle microstructure. The composite particles prepared using DMT exhibit a uniform distribution of characteristic elements, high circularity, smooth surface, enhanced bulk density, and excellent flow properties. The thermal decomposition characteristics, safety, and combustion properties of the samples were investigated by thermal weight loss, mechanical sensitivity, and combustion tests. Thermal weight loss and mechanical sensitivity tests showed that the samples had stable thermal decomposition properties and significantly increased mechanical stability compared to the control. The combustion test results showed that the DMT-prepared samples had a short ignition response time and significantly improved delay precision. This paper presents a straightforward method for preparing B/BaCrO4 particles with high delay accuracy, which can serve as a reference for preparing other composites.
