Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of coatings on high-energy materials, devices or products that comprise the coated high-energy materials, functional coating materials and methods for producing and using the same. In particular, the present invention relates to energetic materials having initiated release coatings to improve the performance and shelf-life of the devices, products and/or raw materials, suitable for use as energetics or propellants for munitions, rockets, pyrotechnics, flares or other devices or components.

Abstract: A diamond composite particle having a diamond particle and a coating film that coats a surface of the diamond particle, in which the coating film contains a metal oxide, the coating film has an average coating thickness of 0.5 nm or more and 3 nm or less, and a ratio of a standard deviation of a coating thickness to the average coating thickness (standard deviation/average thickness) is 0.6 or less.

Abstract: A system, apparatus and method are provided for processing articles. The system includes subsystems for synthesizing, pre-treating, conducting a vapor phase coating process and post-treating articles in the form of powders and solid or porous workpieces. The apparatus permits vapor phase synthesis, treatment and deposition processes to be performed with high efficiency and at high overall throughput. The methods include converting solids, liquids or gases into gaseous and solid streams that can be separated or exchanged with or without treatment and/or coating steps, and produce optimized composite articles for specific applications.
