Article Abstract
Aluminum hydride (AlH) has attracted much attention due to its potential to replace aluminum (Al) as a novel energetic material in solid propellants. In this research, ammonium perchlorate (AP) and perfluoropolyether (PFPE) as functionalized coatings and a combination of acoustic resonance and spray drying technology have been employed to prepare AlH@Al@AP (AHAPs) and AlH@Al@AP@PFPE (AHAPs-F) energetic composite particles. The formulations of composite propellants and modified AlH particles were designed and fabricated. Their thermal reactivity, reaction heat, density, vacuum stability, combustion performance, and condensed combustion products (CCPs) have been systematically investigated. The results show that the solid propellants containing AHAPs (SP13) and AHAPs-F (SP14) composites can significantly enhance the reactivity and energy output compared to conventional solid propellants with the mechanical mixture Al/AlH (SP12). In particular, the total heat releases of SP13 and SP14 are almost 1.2 and 1.7 times higher than those of conventional ones (SP12, 1442 J g), respectively. Among the AlH-based propellants, SP14 propellants exhibit the highest reaction heat of 5887 J g, the most intensive flame radiation of 31.4 × 10, and the highest combustion wave temperature of 2495 °C. Moreover, the particle size distribution of CCPs from SP14 propellants is much narrower and smaller than that of SP12, resulting in higher combustion efficiency.

Accurate strain monitoring in environments with coexisting mechanical deformation and temperature fluctuations─such as solid rocket propellants, battery enclosures, and human ligaments─remains a longstanding challenge for flexible electronics. Conventional strain sensors suffer from significant thermal drift due to the intrinsic temperature dependence of their sensing materials, limiting their reliability in wireless and implantable applications. Here, we report an intrinsically temperature-insensitive, highly sensitive, wireless flexible strain sensor based on near-field communication technology.

High-energy solid propellants are multiphase engineering materials, whose mechanical behavior is predominantly governed by the characteristics of embedded crystalline particles. While microstructural influences have been extensively examined, quantitative correlations between microstructure and macroscopic mechanical properties remain underexplored. This work develops a cohesive finite element method (CFEM) framework to quantify the thermomechanical response of high-energy solid propellants at the microstructural scale.

As a novel carbon material, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have attracted significant research interest in energetic applications due to their high aspect ratio and exceptional physicochemical properties. However, their inherent structural characteristics and poor dispersion severely limit their practical utilization in solid propellant formulations. To address these challenges, this study developed an innovative reverse-engineering strategy that precisely confines MWCNTs within a three-dimensional FeO gel framework through a controllable sol-gel process followed by low-temperature calcination.
