Nano-thermites or metastable intermolecular composites (MICs) have been implemented into modern research on energetic materials as they offer much higher energy densities, higher rates of energy release, stability, and safety (lower sensitivity). This paper reviews several synthetic methods for MICs that have been well thought-out for energetic applications, advantages and disadvantages, as well as the characteristics of each manufacturing technique. The techniques presented include powder mixing, sol-gel, synthesis of MICs based on nano-porous silicon (Psi), sputtering, multilayer nano-foils and electrolytically plated carbon nano-materials for nano-thermite applications. These techniques offer enormously different characteristics and, through the variation of various chemical techniques and conditions, a wide range of chemical and energetic properties may be attained. This may give the opportunity for the safe use of MICs as replacements for some conventional energetic materials in various applications, and may also enable us to study the effects when incorporating these MICs into energetic matrixes, as a promising and feasible research field.

Chemical time delay detonators are used widely in mine blasting applications. In order to achieve effective blasting, detonations must follow a precisely controlled timing sequence in a specified firing pattern. Silicon fuelbased pyrotechnic compositions are widely used in mining detonators and are well studied. However, some of these formulations are deemed to be problematic, as they contain heavy metals which are bio-accumulative and toxic to the environment. Therefore, there is need to explore alternative formulations which are suitable for these applications. Manganese-fueled systems are attractive due to their metallic properties and several oxidation states of the manganese fuel. This study focused on characterizing the burn properties of Mn/Bi2O3 compositions for slow to intermediate time delay applications. The compositions supported combustion in the 25 to 55 wt.% Mn range in an inert helium atmosphere. Burn rates between 2.5 and 11.2 mm·s–1 were recorded in open burn tests, whilst closed burn tests in glass tubes resulted in burn rates of 6.3 to 11.2 mm·s–1. Both X-ray diffraction analysis of the reaction products and thermodynamic simulations confirmed that MnO and Bi are the main reaction products, with unreacted Mn and Bi2O3 also being detected. This suggests that the dominant reaction for this composition is a simple thermite-type reaction.

In this work a new putty-like explosive containing 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5triazine (RDX) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was prepared and its properties were studied. The plasticity and the decomposition temperature of the explosive were determined. The sensitivity to friction, impact, shock wave and internal ignition were tested. The heats of combustion and explosion of the formulation were also measured. The diameter and critical layer as well as the detonation velocity of charges of different diameters were determined. The research results obtained were analyzed.
