2013 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Nano-Energetic Materials I

This session aims to encompass research in the areas of the formation of reactive nano-particles and their application in energetic systems. Contributions are solicited addressing both experimental and theoretical aspects of reaction kinetics, processing and characterization of energetic materials involving nano-reactants.
