Abstract

A screening of novel energetic materials is presented. These materials are selected according to their energy content and heat release during ignition. These material mixtures will be fabricated into composites that can also perform structural functions. A composite fabrication route is developed using fluidized bed chemical vapor deposition; coating a metallic layer onto the particles as a method to control mechanical properties and reaction kinetics. These reactive metal matrix composites can be developed to offer optimum performance with specific strength, modulus and energetic capabilities.
