Mechanical Sensitivity Reduction of Energetic Materials by Using Carbon Nanomaterials

Abstract Mechanical sensitivities (such as friction and impact sensitivity) are the most important evaluation index to characterize risk of energetic materials (EMs), they common stimulus during preparation, transportation usage EMs. Recently, carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) have been found be effective in reducing mechanical EMs with small amount addition. This review covers updated researches desensitization by using fullerenes, expanded graphite (EG), nanotubes (CNTs), graphene oxide (GO), their results relative mechanisms summarized. It has shown that its derivatives more due superior thermal conductivity layered structure.
