Nanothermite Explosives

Thermite = incendiary, available to civilian workers without security clearance, and tested on Mythbusters.

Nano-thermite = also known as "super-thermite", explosives, not available to the public, controlled substance, "bunker busters", discussed in MIT Review

Dr. Andrej Miziolek of the Weapons and Materials Research Directorate, US Army Research Laboratory, gave a talk on the Weoponization of Advanced Endergetic Techologies. (see attached). He did not talk about the applications for cutting steel, but about making more powerful bombs = weapons.

Lawrence Livermore labs has an article on "Nanoscale Chemistry Yields Better Explosives"

There are many possible thermodynamically stable fuel-oxidizer combinations. Some of them are:

Aluminium-molybdenum(VI) oxide
Aluminium-copper(II) oxide
Aluminium-iron(II,III) oxide
Antimony-potassium permanganate
Aluminium-potassium permanganate
Aluminium-bismuth(III) oxide
Aluminium-tungsten(VI) oxide hydrate
Aluminium-fluoropolymer (typically Viton)
Titanium-boron (burns to titanium diboride)

The "not exists" argument has been blown out of the water.

There is a good debate about it at
