The results show that nanometer Cu powder decreased the first and second thermal decomposition temperature of AP by 35.1 ℃ and 130.2 ℃, respectively, and the DTA heat release of AP in the presence of Cu nanopowders increased to 1.20 kJ·g-1, showing good catalytic effect on the thermal decomposition of AP. The catalytic effect of Cu micron-size powder on the thermal decomposition of AP was less than that of Cu nanopowder. With the increase in content, Cu nanopowder enhanced its catalytic effect on the high temperature decomposition of AP, however, it weakened its catalytic effect on the low temperature decomposition of AP. The mechanism of catalysis for the thermal decomposition of AP is as follows: (1) metal oxider acts as the intermedium in the process of election tranfer, (2) Cu nanopowder reacts with the decomposed product of AP, (3) Cu nanopowder has special surface effect.展开更多
