Nanosized niobium (V) and tantalum (V) oxide ceramics as competitive oxidizers within aluminium-based nanothermites

Among the energetic mixtures, one category are thermites. Thermites are highly reactive composites described as consisting of a fuel (metal) and an oxidizer (metal oxide) at micron scale. The use of nano-sized reactants, with higher surface area to volume ratio than micron-sized counterparts, consid...
