Thermal stability and reaction properties of passivated Al/CuO nano-thermite
Abstract
Thermal stability and reaction properties of Al–CuO system, a mixture of 50–200nm aluminum nanoparticles passivated by nitrocellulose and 12nm copper (II) oxide, were investigated with microstructure characterization, differential thermal analysis (DTA), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Transmission electron microscopy observation confirmed that the passivation coating successfully hinders the oxidization. TGA revealed that the passivation …
