Nanoenergetics

Purpose

  • Scope and actual research topics
  • Elaboration and reactivity study of nanothermites
  • Continuous synthesis of
    nanoenergetic materials
  • Study of energetic materials
    on a nanoscale.

 
β€œEOR” nanothermite


Thermite with tunable reactivity

Skills

  • Sol-gel synthesis of nanopyrotechnics
  • Physico-chemical material characterization
  • Continuous nanocrystallization of energetic materials
  • Imaging and manipulation of energetic materials with the SPM technique.
