Reducing Electrostatic Discharge Ignition Sensitivity Of Mic Materials

View page
US Patent:
20080152899, Jun 26, 2008
Filed:
Dec 11, 2007
Appl. No.:
12/001296
Inventors:
Shubhra Gangopadhyah - Columbia MO, US
Rajagopalan Thiruvengadathan - Columbia MO, US
Steven Apperson - Columbia MO, US
Keshab Gangopadhyay - Columbia MO, US
International Classification:
B05D 7/00
B32B 5/16
US Classification:
428327, 4272133
Abstract:
The invention provides metastable intermolecular composites that have good thermite properties while also being relatively insensitive to electrostatic discharge ignition. A preferred embodiment metastable intermolecular composite has a metal oxide nanostructure, which can be coated with an energetic polymer via a molecular linker or loaded with a gas generating polymer. Metal fuel nanoparticles coated with an energetic polymer via a molecular linker are closely associated with said metal oxide nanostructure. Methods of making metastable intermolecular composites are also provided by the invention.

US Patent:
20090152873, Jun 18, 2009
Filed:
Oct 27, 2006
Appl. No.:
12/083985
Inventors:
Shubhra Gangopadhyay - Columbia MO, US
Steven Apperson - Columbia MO, US
Keshab Gangopadhyay - Columbia MO, US
Andrey Bezmelnitsyn - Columbia MO, US
Rajagopalan Thiruvengadathan - Columbia MO, US

Shantanu Bhattacharya - Columbia MO, US
Yuangang Gao - Boulder CO, US
International Classification:
F03G 7/00
US Classification:
290 1 R, 977948
Abstract:
A method of generating power uses a nanoenergetic material. The nanoenergetic material comprising thermite is obtained and deposited on a substrate. An igniter is placed on the nanoenergetic material. When power is desired, the nanoenergetic material is ignited. A transducer receives thermal, sonic, magnetic, optic and/or mechanical energy from combustion of the nanoenergetic material and converts it into electrical energy. Preferably, the transducer is a thermoelectric, piezoelectric or magneto device. Preferably, multiple transducers are integrated in one power generators to maximize the power from nanoenergetic thermites.

Nanothermite Thrusters With A Nanothermite Propellant

View page
US Patent:
20110167795, Jul 14, 2011
Filed:
Apr 20, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/763809
Inventors:
Shubhra Gangopadhyay - Columbia MO, US
Steve Apperson - Columbia MO, US
Keshab Gangopadhyay - Columbia MO, US
Rajagopalan Thiruvengadathan - Columbia MO, US
Andrey Bezmelnitsyn - Columbia MO, US
Assignee:
CURATORS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI - Columbia MO
International Classification:
F02K 9/00
US Classification:
60254
Abstract:
In various embodiments, the present disclosure provides a thruster that utilizes a nanothermite material as a propellant. The thruster generally includes a body having at least one sidewall and a bottom wall that define a propellant chamber having a closed repulsion end and an opposing open exhaust end. The thruster additionally includes a nanothermite propellant configured within the propellant chamber to have a selected density that dictates a reaction propagation rate of the nanothermite propellant such that the reaction propagation rate will have a selected one of two distinctly different force-time profiles.

Hierarchical Self-Assembled Energetic Materials And Formation Methods

View page
US Patent:
20150034220, Feb 5, 2015
Filed:
Aug 4, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/451001
Inventors:
- Columbia MO, US
Stephen W. Chung - Florissant MO, US
Rajagopalan Thiruvengadathan - Columbia MO, US
Clay Stephen Staley - Columbia MO, US
Keshab Gangopadhyay - Columbia MO, US
Kristofer Emile Raymond - Columbia MO, US
International Classification:
C06B 45/18
C06B 33/00
US Classification:
149 3
Abstract:
An energetic nanocomposite includes fuel nanoparticles and oxidizer nanoparticles covalently bonded to negatively charged functionalized graphene sheets. A preferred example includes Al fuel nanoparticles and BiOnanoparticles. A preferred method of formation mixes a solution of positively charged fuel nanoparticles, positively charged oxidizer nanoparticles, and negatively charged functionalized graphene sheets having functional groups to bond with the positively charged fuel nanoparticles and positively charged oxidizer nanoparticles. Self-assembly of the energetic nanocomposite is permitted over a predetermined time via the attraction and aggregation of the positively charged fuel nanoparticles positively charged oxidizer nanoparticles and negatively charged functionalized graphene sheets. Additional methods and nanocomposites include unfunctionalized graphene sheets, which can be commercial grade sheets.
