Abstract

The plasma electro‐condensation process was used to synthesize nano‐sized aluminum powders. Adding different chemicals modified the physical and chemical properties of these powders. To characterize the nano‐sized powders, X‐ray diffraction, TEM, BET analyses, and simultaneous TG/DSC analyses were performed. TG/DSC analyses revealed a dramatic degradation of the aluminum oxide layer after storage of the aluminum powder in air for a period of several months. The burning rate of the model solid propellant with nano‐sized aluminum was experimentally examined. The combustion behavior of nano‐sized aluminum will be presented and will be compared with the combustion behavior of the micron‐sized powders.
