“…Although low density and strength of Al‐PTFE composites severely limits their applications, such materials were studied rather extensively, representing a common reference system for many RSMs developed recently. In addition to metal‐fluoropolymers, the types of RSMs described in the literature include thermites, for example, reactive intermetallic systems, such as Al–Ni, for example, metal‐metalloid systems, including B–Ti, B–Zr, for example, systems forming metal carbides, for example, and simply composites and alloys combining materials with different desired properties, for example, tungsten with a high density with zirconium or hafnium, metals with a relatively high reactivity . Along with the composition, design of composite RSMs and the methods used for their testing vary widely, depending on the intended application, properties of individual components, and capabilities available to the material designers.…”
