Preparation of Nanostructured Materials under Extreme Electrochemical Conditions

R1-A.2: Characterization of Energetic Materials Under Extreme Conditions

Commonly available, nonconventional energetic materials such as H2O2, ammonium nitrates (AN), as well as reactive materials (e.g., mixtures of metals and metal oxides), and conventional plastic explosives primarily made of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), cyclotrimethylene trinitramine (RDX), cyclotetramethylene-tetranitramine (HMX), and triaminotrinitrobenzene (TATB), are often materials u...

Nanostructured Electrode Materials for Electrochemical Capacitor Applications

The advent of novel organic and inorganic nanomaterials in recent years, particularly nanostructured carbons, conducting polymers, and metal oxides, has enabled the fabrication of various energy devices with enhanced performance. In this paper, we review in detail different nanomaterials used in the fabrication of electrochemical capacitor electrodes and also give a brief overview of electric d...

Solutions for Critical Raw Materials under Extreme Conditions: A Review

In Europe, many technologies with high socio-economic benefits face materials requirements that are often affected by demand-supply disruption. This paper offers an overview of critical raw materials in high value alloys and metal-matrix composites used in critical applications, such as energy, transportation and machinery manufacturing associated with extreme working conditions in terms of tem...

Porous materials for thermal management under extreme conditions.

A brief analysis is presented of how heat transfer takes place in porous materials of various types. The emphasis is on materials able to withstand extremes of temperature, gas pressure, irradiation, etc. i.e. metals and ceramics, rather than polymers. A primary aim is commonly to maximize either the thermal resistance (i.e. provide insulation) or the rate of thermal equilibration between the m...
