In a nutshell, the performance of weapons and munitions increases with the use of nanosized particles because of the increased surface area and enhanced heat transfer resulting in reduced ignition delay, burn time, improved mechanical properties and high density-specific impulse. Further, formulations based on micron-sized materials with a wide distribution suffer from defects such as slow energy release, incomplete combustion and inability to support rapid combustion which can be overcome with the use of nanoparticles or nanomaterials [102].
