Abstract
The direct ink writing (DIW) technology and its application in energetic materials was systematically introduced. Recent research progresses and applications of DIW technology were emphasized, including metastable intermolecular composites (thermite, aluminum-fluorine polymer), propellants and explosives grains with complex structure, and pyrotechnics. The main relevant challenges and the opportunities of DIW technology were also proposed. DIW technology covers the deficiency of traditional charge technology to a certain extent, and it has great application potential in the research and development of new porous charge/charge with special structure and explosive charge with variable energy density. In the future, it is proposed that the research on additive manufacturing explosive formula for application, the photothermal co-curing matrix, and the integrated manufacturing of ammunition with cased and charge should be enhanced. Thus, new ideas and technical approaches for the development of new and high-precision strategic weapons and equipment in China will be provided.
