Probing Interfacial and Micro-structural Influences on Detonation Chemistry, Sensitivity, and Resilience of Energetic Materials

Due: May 1, 2025

$100,000

Description

The research focuses on investigating the micro and interfacial structure of composite explosives and relating it to the reactivity of the constituents and bulk phase material properties. It aims to control chemical reactivity under shock loading and mechanical failure under quasistatic compression by altering how constituents interact or are structured. The research utilizes in-house experimental capabilities such as FIB, SEM, TEM, micro-CT, DSC, TGA, GCMS, HPLC, and small-scale sensitivity/safety testing, along with mechanical...

Grantor Contact InformationClaron James Ridge, Phone: 850 882 2075Grantor Emailclaron.ridge.1@us.af.milOther Grantor InformaitonThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
