Here, the storage stability of Al/CuO nanothermite, which was prepared by electrospray method and stored with different storage time, was systematically researched. The activation energy of Al/CuO nanothermite was calculated by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC). The ignition temperature and the curve pressure history of Al/Cu O nanothermite was measured using ignition temperature measuring device and constant-volume pressurization tests, respectively. Further, the thermites were characterized by X-ray Diffractometer(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), scanning electron microscope(SEM) and Transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The results show that the morphology of the thermites did not change significantly. The activation energy was decreased from 254.1 k J/mol to 181.8 k J/mol after storage for 13 months. When stored for 0, 7 and 13 months, the peak pressures of Al/CuO nanothermite were 685.8 k Pa,626.3 k Pa and 625.5 k Pa, respectively. In addition to the ignition temperature, it was 775 ℃, 739 ℃ and754 ℃, respectively. This result indicated that the ignition and combustion properties of Al/CuO nanothermite are obviously reduced when stored for a long time, at room temperature.展开更多

In this paper, we prepared a new kind of luminescent europium nanoparticles by a co-precipitation-condensation method. The luminescent europium complex Eu（tta）3.bpt （tta = thenoyltrifluoroacetonate; bpt = 2-（N,N- di-ethylanilin-4-yl）-4,6-bis（pyrazol-l-yl）-l,3,5-triazine） was used as the active material, being encapsulated in the nanoparticles formed from 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorooctyltrimethoxysilane （PFOTS） and poly（styrene-co-methyl methacrylate） [P（ST-co-MMA）]. The prepared nanoparticles not only can be well dispersed in water but also were of high photostability. Importantly, the nanoparticles displayed maximal excitation wavelength at 425 nm as well as an extended excitation wavelength up to 480 nm and a quantum yield for Eu3＋ luminescence of 0.22 （λex= 425 nm, room temperature）.展开更多
