Abstract

As part of a cooperation between several TNO institutes, including TNO Prins Maurits Laboratory, recently a new initiative on nanotechnology was started. The research subjects within this initiative can be roughly divided into two areas: (1) Instrumentation for analysis and manufacture at nano-scale and (2) Nanoscale engineering techniques to create materials and components (including their applications). Currently the research at TNO Prins Maurits Laboratory is focusing on the application of reactive nanomaterials to decontaminate surfaces from e.g. bacteria or toxic chemicals, the use of plasma's to generate nanomaterials like carbon nanotubes, and the application and characterization of nanomaterials in energetic formulations (e.g. explosives, propellants and pyrotechnic compositions). In this paper results on the latter subject will be presented in more detail. Also results will be included of other research projects involved with energetic/reactive nanomaterials.
