Aluminum/copper oxide (Al/CuO) nanothermite is a promising metal fuel due to its high combustion enthalpy and excellent gas-producing characteristics. Fluoropolymers are energetic binders that can potentially be used to make moldable reactive composites without compromising the ignitability of therm...
