摘要： The present invention generally concerns a nano-enhanced explosive that is integrated at many points across an explosive train. More specifically, a nano-enhanced explosive is formed when a nanocomposite we call nMx is combined with a secondary high explosive. nMx is made of Li3AlH6 nanoparticles, elemental Al nanoparticles, an amount of Ti metal, and a nanoscale organic layer having unique burning profiles that lend energy to the explosive process including increased shockwave propagation through a chemical explosive and increased temperatures and gaseous pressure build up and release in and about the same. Our nano-enhanced explosive can be integrated at various points across an explosive train, e.g. use within a detonation cord (fuse), or as a detonation charge (initiator), or as the main charge, where the use of the nano-enhanced explosive can be characterized by the energy lent to projectiles from munitions, bubbles formed by underwater explosive trains, or blast profiles.

摘要： Disclosed are capped nanoparticles that are effectively trapped within an aqueous gelling solution to produce stable gels and function as a contrast agent for vascular imaging. The contrast agent has good radioopacity, is inexpensive to produce, and is safe to handle. This provides a new method to image the fine vasculature of biological systems.
