Abstract:
1. An explosive composition comprising a porous fuel and an oxidizer, wherein said porous fuel is a solid having a structure size measuring between about 2 nm and 1000 nm, and having pores with a pore size ranging between 2 nm and 1000 nm, the fuel having a porosity that varies between 10% and 98%, wherein said oxidizer, having one of a solid and liquid state at room temperature, is incorporated into said pores of said porous fuel, and is selected, in an amount of at least 50% by weight relative to a total quantity of said oxidizer, from the group consisting of hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl ammonium nitrate, organic nitro compounds or nitrates, alkali metal nitrates or earth alkali metal nitrates as well as metal nitrites, metal chlorates, metal perchlorates, metal bromates, metal iodates, metal oxides, metal peroxides, ammonium perchlorate, ammonium nitrate and mixtures thereof, and wherein said fuel is at least partially passivated to increase an activation energy for reacting said fuel with said oxidizer.
