Surface modifications of plasma treated aluminum particles and direct evidence for altered reactivity

Aluminum particles (Al) inherently contain a natural oxide (Al2O3) coating that limits rates of diffusion-controlled energy release and can prevent complete conversion of the chemical energy available within an Al particle. Therefore, altering Al surface properties to reduce the oxide shell and/or t...
