VALIMET at PURDUE University

April 4, 2023

For over a decade Purdue University has been studying Energetic Materials using VALIMET Aluminum powders.
Professor Steve Son’s team is working on hot stuff and the Rocket Motors industry should carefully check on their upcoming publications.

In a recent hybrid meeting, Chris AdamIan McCarthy and Luigi Alzati reviewed with Purdue’s team (including Tim ManshipCaleb HarperMetin Örnek) the state of their studies in Aluminum for Propellants.

We decided to host on our website’s Literature page a significant selection of their works based on VALIMET powders.

Let us acknowledge all the co-authors of these papers. It’s a pool of talents for the Academic world and for the Rocket Motors Industry:

Tim Manship, Hatem BelalKyle Uhlenhake, Ph.D.Diane Collard, Alexander C. Hoganson, Alex D. Brown, Sara Fox, Metin Ornek, Jeff RhoadsGabriel Diez, Ibrahim Gunduz, Brandon TerryMorgan RueschAustin McDonaldGarrett MathewsChristopher Goldenstein, Michael S. Powell, Weixiao Shang, Jun Chen, Yi Chen and Daniel R. Guildenbecher, Mario A. Rubio, Emre GunduzLori GrovenTravis Sippel, Chang Wan Han, Raymond Unocic, Volkan Ortalan, David Reese; Darren M. Wright, David E. Kittell, Timothee Pourpoint, Omar R. Yehia, Andrew Noel.

Also, we we listed a study made in a collaboration between Penn State University (Richard Yetter, Terrence L. Connell, Jr., Grant A. Risha), Steven Son from Purdue and Vigor Yang, from Georgia Institute of Technology.

(Yes, this IS Rocket Science).
