Sponsor Office of Naval Research (Navy)
Summary This project seeks to develop new reactive material composites with improved performance for specific sponsor-driven application. Four different strategies will be explored to create and small-scale samples will be fabricated in-house at Naval Postgraduate School. Materials will be evaluated based on thermal and dynamic mechanical testing, impact-induced energy release, and basic flame/firebrand duration.
