Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), due to their exceptionally high thermal conductivity and mechanical strength, are promising candidates for use as high-performance nanofillers to enhance the performance of energetic materials, such as polymer-bonded explosives (PBXs). This article reviews the applications of CNTs in enhancing the thermal conductivity, thermal stability, and mechanical properties of energetic materials. The impact of key factors is analyzed such as the thermal conductivity mechanism of CNTs and surface modification and dispersion techniques on the enhancement effect. It also summarizes current research trends and practical application strategies, and explores the challenges and future development directions facing this field.
期刊介绍:
The journal Carbon is an international multidisciplinary forum for communicating scientific advances in the field of carbon materials. It reports new findings related to the formation, structure, properties, behaviors, and technological applications of carbons. Carbons are a broad class of ordered or disordered solid phases composed primarily of elemental carbon, including but not limited to carbon black, carbon fibers and filaments, carbon nanotubes, diamond and diamond-like carbon, fullerenes, glassy carbon, graphite, graphene, graphene-oxide, porous carbons, pyrolytic carbon, and other sp2 and non-sp2 hybridized carbon systems. Carbon is the companion title to the open access journal Carbon Trends. Relevant application areas for carbon materials include biology and medicine, catalysis, electronic, optoelectronic, spintronic, high-frequency, and photonic devices, energy storage and conversion systems, environmental applications and water treatment, smart materials and systems, and structural and thermal applications.
