  • Pyrophoric foam materials and methods of making the same
    Patent number: 10584076
    Abstract: An in-situ process for synthesizing highly pyrophoric foam materials using metal and carbon precursors wherein the precursors serve as foaming and activating agents to disperse and lock nano-sized metal particles within a rigid porous carbon matrix. The resulting carbon matrix is also pyrophoric.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 30, 2018
    Date of Patent: March 10, 2020
    Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Secretary of the Army
