High-Pressure Synthesis of Novel Energetic Ionic Systems
Suffield, Alberta, Canada

Requirement:
The contract requirement for this project is to design,
high-pressure synthesize and characterize novel high energetic
ionic condensed matter as high energetic fuels for enhanced
blast explosives under guidance of first-principles theory
simulations.  To perform high-pressure synthesis of novel ionic
energetic materials, a three tier approach will be used as
follows:

Perform first-principles theory simulations with enthalpy
minimization with various target pressures to explore novel
energetic ionic systems as high energy density fuels which can
undergo detonation reactions when contacted with appropriate
oxidizers, such as hydrogen-rich ionic liquids being hypergolic
with hydrogen peroxide and ionic hydrides with extremely high
energy contents. 

 Design and synthesize targeted aforementioned novel ionic
energetic materials using high-pressure. 

Characterize and study experimentally synthesized ionic
energetic materials.

The results obtained will be carefully analyzed and will be used
to fine-tune the materials design and high-pressure synthesis to
enhance their energetic content, together with their detonation
or hypergolic reactivity as energy fuels for enhanced blast
explosives.

The maximum funding available for the Contract resulting from
the bid solicitation is $100,000.00 (Goods and Services Tax or
Harmonized Sales Tax extra, as appropriate). Bids valued in
excess of this amount will be considered non-responsive. This
disclosure does not commit Canada to pay the maximum funding
available.
