2017 Annual Meeting

Session: Energetic and Reactive Materials

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.
