Abstract

Following the generic strategy of creating core-shell structured nanoparticles reported by our group previously [1] and exploring its applications, an aerosol route combined with iron carbonyl decomposition was developed to encapsulate strong oxidizer within mild oxidizer particles. This modified method enables the application of hygroscopic nano-energetic materials by stabilizing them within a water-insoluble shell. Fe2O3/I2O5 composite oxidizers have been created. Some of the results obtained from combustion tests show that the composite system significantly outperforms the single metal oxide (Fe2O3) system in both pressurization rate and peak pressure. The time-resolved mass spectrometry shows that a significant amount of O2 and I2 are released from the composite oxidizers. These preliminary results suggest a supplement to the previous strategy of obtaining the core-shell structured composite oxidizers and the method still needs to be further optimized.
