“…In order to minimize the misaction caused by traditional micro-igniters due to false triggering, Kan et al [178] proposed a MEMS safety device based on Lorentz force. Kan et al [179] performed an experimental study of the effect of carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) on the ignition and thrust performance of various types of oxygenated salts/nanothermite mixtures. The authors used CNMs that included graphene-oxide (GO), reduced GO, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and demonstrated that non-metallic oxidizers is a good alternative energetic oxidants for thermite mixtures with high combustion performance.…”

The CNMs used by Kan et al [179] used a simple ultrasonic mixing method to integrate the CNMs into nanothermite compositions.…”

This work presents a state-of-the-art review of micro-combustion flame dynamics and micro propulsion systems. In the initial section, we focus in on the different challenges of micro-combustion, investigating the typical length and time scales involved in micro-combustion and some critical phenomena such as flammability limits and the quenching diameter.We present an extensive collection of studies on the principal types of micro-flame dynamics, including flashback, blow-off, steady versus non-steady flames, mild combustion, stable flames, flames with repetitive extinction, and ignition and pulsatory flame burst. In the final part of this review, we focus on micropropulsion systems, their performance metrics, conventional manufacturing methods, and the advancements in Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems manufacturing.
