Combustion of high-density CuO/Al nanothermites at elevated pressures
Effect of the Al particle size, ambient pressure and polymeric additives on the burning rate characteristics of high-density CuO/Al nanoscale thermite mixtures has been investigated.It has been shown that the transition from nanoscale aluminium particles to micron scale ones leads to a fifty fold decrease in the burning rate.The burning rate of pressed CuO/Al samples appeared to be practically independent of ambient pressure up to 100 arm, whereas an addition of even small amounts of polymers resulted in both drastic decrease in the burning rate and emergence of pressure-dependent burning behavior.Combustion mechanism based on the condensed-phase heterogeneous reaction of aluminium oxidation has been proposed, with the rate-limiting stage being oxygen diffusion through Al2O3 oxygen film.
