An integrated explosive element or ignition element (5) with a base body, in particular a silicon body (10), and a reaction area (15) assigned to it is proposed, the reaction area (15) being porous silicon (11) and an oxidizing agent (12) for silicon and a means (13) is provided with which a chemical reaction between the oxidizing agent (12) and the porous silicon (11) can be initiated. The proposed explosive or ignition element (5) is particularly suitable for use in a microreactor, a microbooster, in particular for course correction of satellites, as an ignition element in a gas generator for a belt tensioner or an airbag, in particular in motor vehicles, or as an initial ignition element for the ignition of explosive charges. |
