2019 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Energetic Materials: Engineered Particles and Interfaces

This session seeks contributions describing efforts on engineering particles and or structures for higher performance (cocrystals, milled reactives, functionally graded materials, mixtures) and those efforts focused on interfaces or exploiting interfaces for high performance energetic materials.
