Laser-accelerated flyer system for investigating reactions in Ni-Al mixtures

Combustion synthesis in nanostructured reactive systems

“…This 140 review places emphasis on material science aspects of nano-struc- 141 tured reactive systems. 142 Analysis of recent research papers on heterogeneous combus- 143 tion has clearly revealed that the new classes of reactive systems, 144 which are characterized by nanosized-scale and possess extremely 145 high reactivity, as compared to similar reactive systems with 146 micro-scale heterogeneity, has attracted the attention of 147 researchers and has dominated R&D. The present paper gives an 148 overview of four classes of such reactive nano-media: (i) mechani- 149 cally-structured composites; (ii) sol-gels; (iii) mixtures of metal 150 and metal-oxide nanopowders, i.e., so-called, super thermite 151 compositions and (iv) multilayer nano-foils. Research in each of 152 these areas is being performed almost independently and cross- 153 references are rare.…”

New Results on Structural Macrokinetics Obtained on Multilayer Nanofoils

“…Different result was obtained using mechanical impact [37]. The flyers made of different materials (e.g., Cu or Al) were accelerated by laser beam, up to velocity1,4 km/s, and strike the Ni/Al vapor-deposited MRNF.…”
