Nanoenergetic materials were synthesized and the thermite reaction between the CuO nanowires and the deposited nano-Al by Joule heating was studied. CuO nanowires were grown by thermal annealing on a glass substrate. To produce nanoenergetic materials, nano-Al was deposited on the top surface of CuO nanowires. The temperature of the first exothermic reaction peak occurred at approximately $600^{\circ}C$. The released heat energy calculated from the first exothermic reaction peak in differential scanning calorimetry, was approximately 1,178 J/g. The combustion of the nanoenergetic materials resulted in a bright flash of light with an adiabatic frame temperature potentially greater than $2,000^{\circ}C$. This thermite reaction might be utilized to achieve a highly reliable selective area crystallization of amorphous silicon films.

현재 적용되고 있는 에너지화 가소제는 $-NO_2$, $-ONO_2$ 및 $-N_3$와 같은 에너지화 활성 그룹을 포함하고 있어서 충격, 쇼크, 열 등 외부환경에 상당히 민감하여 복합화약의 둔감 안정성을 취약하게 한다. 본 연구에서는 민감한 에너지화 활성 그룹이 아니라 근본적으로는 비활성 그룹으로 복합화약의 민감도에는 영향을 미치지 않지만, 복합화약의 반응 시에 테르밋반응에 의해 추가적인 에너지를 발생할 수 있는 불소계 반응성 가소제를 적용한 폴리우레탄 결합제를 클릭반응으로 합성하고 나노 알루미늄과의 테르밋반응에 대한 열적 특성을 고찰하였다.

The aluminum (Al)/copper oxide (CuO) complex is known as the most promising material for thermite reactions, releasing a high heat and pressure through ignition or thermal heating. To improve the reaction rate and wettability for handling safety, nanosized primary particles are applied on Al/CuO composite for energetic materials in explosives or propellants. Herein, graphene oxide (GO) is adopted for the Al/CuO composites as the functional supporting materials, preventing a phase-separation between solvent and composites, leading to a significantly enhanced reactivity. The characterizations of Al/CuO decorated on GO(Al/CuO/GO) are performed through scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy mapping analysis. Moreover, the functional bridging between Al/CuO and GO is suggested by identifying the chemical bonding with GO in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. The reactivity of Al/CuO/GO composites is evaluated by comparing the maximum pressure and rate of the pressure increase of Al/CuO and Al/CuO/GO. The composites with a specific concentration of GO (10 wt%) demonstrate a well-dispersed mixture in hexane solution without phase separation.
