Synthesis of energy-rich nanomaterials

For the first time, vacuum condensation was used to prepare nanomaterials for high-energy systems. At the first stage of the study, nanodispersed ammonium nitrate and RDX were obtained, and chemically pure crystallites of either substance with a mean size of 50 nm were subsequently extracted from the powders obtained. At the second stage, simultaneous vacuum evaporation and condensation of the two components were used to obtain a composite material containing nanocrystal-force microscopy were employed to identify the phase composition of the crystallites and determine their morphology and sizes. The crystallite size of the synthesized two-component composite material is shown to be no greater than 100 nm.
