These systems consist of metal (e.g. aluminum) and oxidizer nanopowders. The MIC formulations are based on intimate mixing of reactants on the nanometer length scale. As the specific surface area increases, the number of contact points between the reactants also increases and therefore the reaction rate increases

the reaction rate depends on other factors, including particle size distribution and degree of intermixing

Reaction rates between nanosize aluminum and metal oxides can be significantly greater than those observed with traditional micron-size thermite powders.

At that time, this was only reliable source of aluminum nanopowders in the United States. The aluminum nanopowders produced by NSWC were further subjected to passivation with oxygen in order to make them suitable for processing in air.
