IMPACTS OF GRAPHENE ON THE COMBUSTION AND INFRARED EMISSION CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PYROTECHNIC COMPOSITION BASED ON MAGNESIUM-TEFLON-VITON

Abstract

Graphene has been studied and developed for application in many civil and military fields. In particular, the application of increasing the performance of high-energy materials in the military has received much attention in recent years. This article presents studies on the influence of graphene additives on some combustion characteristics and infrared emission of the pyrotechnic composition based on Magnesium-Teflon-Viton (MTV). EDX analysis and SEM images are used to evaluate the distribution of graphene in the pyrotechnic mixture. Graphene additives added to the MTV pyrotechnic mixture did not significantly affect the burning rate, but significantly changed the combustion temperature and infrared emission of the pyrotechnic compositions.
