  • Methods for the Synthesis of Single-Wall Nanotubes for Energetic Applications
    Publication number: 20210032107
    Abstract: Single-walled nanotubes for use as additives in energetic materials, and methods for synthesizing such materials are described. The single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) additives comprise a mixture of high-purity SWNT and carbon encapsulated iron nanoparticles. The SWNT mixtures may comprise no more than 5% non-SWNT carbon, and the iron nanoparticles may be from 2-5 nm. The method of synthesizing the SWNTs may comprise a high-pressure carbon monoxide (HiPCO) process. The SWNT mixtures may be adapted for use as additives in energetic processes, such as, for example, rocket motors.
