Unraveling the Effect of MgAl/CuO Nanothermite on the Characteristics and Thermo-Catalytic Decomposition of Nanoenergetic Formulation Based on Nanostructured Nitrocellulose and Hydrazinium Nitro-Triazolone

The present study aims to develop new energetic composites containing nanostructured nitrocellulose (NNC) or nitrated cellulose (NC), hydrazinium nitro triazolone (HNTO), and MgAl-CuO nanothermite. prepared formulations (NC/HNTO/MgAl-CuO NNC/HNTO/MgAl-CuO) were analyzed using various analytical techniques, such as Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetry (TGA), differential calorimetry (DSC). outstanding catalytic impact of on the thermal behavior developed was elucidated by kinetic modeling, applied DSC data isoconversional methods, for which a considerable drop in activation energy acquired formulations, highlighting influence introduced Overall, obtained findings demonstrated that newly elaborated NC/HNTO/MgAl-CuO NNC/HNTO/MgAl-CuO could serve promising candidates application next generation composite explosives high-performance propellants.
