Study the Feasibility for Establishing an Industry/ University Cooperative Research Center for Energetic Materials

含能材料是一组能够通过化学反应释放能量的材料的统称。这些物质包括炸药、推进剂和烟火，以及其他化学物质，如果使用或处理不当，可能会发生反应和爆炸。用于军事和工业目的的含能材料的工业用途正在增加。新技术正在开辟新的应用领域，超越了在金属成形、石油开采、采矿等领域的用途。工业对这一领域的使用和兴趣的增加为工业/大学能源材料合作研究中心提供了机会。该项目正在研究在新墨西哥州矿业与技术研究所建立产学研合作含能材料研究中心的可行性和可行性。一个中心的替代组织、政策和运作正在研究中。确定了工业界在这一领域的研究兴趣和需求。设想的中心在行业支持下实现自给自足的潜力也正在确定中。

Energetic materials is a collective name for a group of materials that are capable of releasing energy by chemical reactions. The group includes explosives, propellants, and pyrotechnics, as well as other chemical materials that can react and explode if improperly used or handled. The industrial use of energetic materials for military and industrial purposes is increasing. New technology is opening up new applications beyond the uses in metal forming, oil recovery, mining, etc. Industry's increased usage and interest in this area represents an opportunity for an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Energetics Materials. This project is studying the feasibility and viability for an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Energetic Materials at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. Alternative organizations, policies, and operations for a center are being studied. The research interests and needs of industry in this area being determined. The potential for the envisioned center to become self-sufficient with industry support is also being determined.
