Abstract

The advantages of self-assembly method are highlighted by analyzing and comparing the energy properties of the nanostructured energetic materials fabricated by different approaches. The self-assembly strategy can effectively control the arrangement of component nanoparticles, improve the dispersity of ingredients, and increase the intimacy between the reactants. Therefore, the burning rate and reactivity, as well as energy efficiency, of the assembled nanostructured energetic materials are enhanced, due to that the length of mass and heat transport during reaction are reduced. Recent advances reported in previous publications related to the self-assembly of aluminum-based nanostructured energetic materials are summarized and classified into two categories: direct and indirect methods. Accordingly, the development direction of the self-assembly to prepare nanostructured energetic materials is proposed,with 41 references.
