Electrostatically enhanced nanocomposite particle assembly as a viable method of enhancing the reactivity of energetic nanocomposites is reported. The kinetics of the burning process can be be tailored, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results demonstrate that bipolar‐ assembly synthesized aluminum/iron oxide nanocomposite aerosol materials have burning rates an order of magnitude higher than those produced via random Brownian coagulation.
