SUMMARY: Powder Production Capability -- Able to produce nanostructured materials with enhanced properties using high energy milling -- Able to produce almost any nano scale powder at a rate up to 1kg/hr for potential applications involving anti-corrosion technologies. * Materials Characterization Capability -- Collaboration also available for corrosion mechanism identification -- Able to obtain vast amounts of information about bulk materials or nanomaterials in a short time.
Energetic materials are an important component of military defense systems and are used in applications ranging from explosives to gun and missile propulsion. Energetic materials are used in a number of critical defense components ranging from shaped charges, actuators, and delay lines to detonators. U.S. defense needs for advanced energetics have been evolving rapidly in recent years. The need for increased mobility, enhanced range and lethality, reduced or modified signatures, ...
