ORAU
Design and Synthesis of Novel Energetic Cocrystals.
ORAU, Aberdeen, Maryland, United States, 21001
Overview
This project involves the design and synthesis of novel energetic cocrystalline materials. The project goals are as follows: identify novel inter-/intramolecular interactions between novel melt-cast materials and traditional energetics leading to high performance energetic cocrystals. Synthesize the materials and characterize them using vibrational spectroscopy (IR and Raman), X-ray diffraction (Powder and Single Crystal), TGA, DSC, and small-scale sensitivity testing. The material space to be explored is centered on energetic melt-cast material based on the bis-isoxazole backbone. Initial work is to be performed on milligram scale using modern crystal engineering techniques. Organization

The Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP) is designed to significantly increase the involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas of interest and relevance to the Army. Scientists and Engineers at the CCDC Army Research Laboratory (ARL) help shape and execute the Army\'s program for meeting the challenge of developing technologies that will support Army forces in meeting future operational needs by pursuing scientific research and technological developments in diverse fields such as: applied mathematics, atmospheric characterization, simulation and human modeling, digital/optical signal processing, nanotechnology, material science and technology, multifunctional technology, combustion processes, propulsion and flight physics, communication and networking, and computational and information sciences.
