Breakthrough Low-Cost, Mass-Production of Strong Nanosuperthermites Navy SBIR FY2008.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2008.1 Topic No.: N08-020 Topic Title: Breakthrough Low-Cost, Mass-Production of Strong Nanosuperthermites Proposal No.: N081-020-1343 Firm: Hard Sciences Corporation 748 Greenwood Avenue Glencoe, Illinois 60022 Contact: James Myrick Phone: (847) 337-9305 Web Site: http:www.hardsciencescorporation.com Abstract: This proposal is directed to new processes for extremely low-cost production of ultra strong, nano tructured super-thermites. The processing very rapidly converts inexpensive raw starting materials into finished nanoscale composites with minimal reaction between the energetic metal and oxidizer components. The processing can produce finished products, and standard shapes that can be subsequently fabricated using standard manufacturing procedures. Benefits: The low cost manufacturing process can be scaled very rapidly for adoption and field deployment, for a wide variety of Navy energetics systems. Return
