An energetic material comprising an elemental fuel, an oxidizer or other element, and a carbon nanofiller or carbon fiber rods, where the carbon nanofiller or carbon fiber rods are substantially homogeneously dispersed in the energetic material. Methods of tailoring the electrostatic discharge sensitivity of an energetic material are also disclosed. Energetic materials including the elemental fuel, the oxidizer or other element, and an additive are also disclosed, as are methods of reducing ignition sensitivity of the energetic material including the additive. The additive is combined with the elemental fuel and a metal oxide to form the energetic material. The energetic material is heated at a slow rate to render inert the energetic material to ignition while the energetic material remains ignitable when heated at a fast rate.

1. A method of reducing ignition sensitivity of an energetic material, the method comprising: combining an additive, an elemental fuel, and a metal oxide to form an energetic material; andheating the energetic material to a temperature between about 150° C. and about 300° C. at a slow rate to decompose the additive and to render the energetic material inert to ignition while the energetic material is formulated to be ignitable when directly heated at a fast rate. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein combining an additive, an elemental fuel, and a metal oxide to form an energetic material comprises combining an additive having a decomposition temperature of less than an autoignition temperature of the energetic material with the elemental fuel and the metal oxide. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein combining an additive, an elemental fuel, and a metal oxide to form an energetic material comprises combining an additive having a decomposition temperature of less than about 290° C. with the elemental fuel and the metal oxide. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein combining an additive, an elemental fuel, and a metal oxide to form an energetic material comprises combining an additive selected from the group consisting of ammonium nitrate, aluminum stearate, copper carbonate, lithium 12-hydroxystearate, strontium oxalate, sulfur, zinc peroxide, zinc stearate, and combinations thereof with the elemental fuel and the metal oxide. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein combining an additive, an elemental fuel, and a metal oxide to form an energetic material comprises combining ammonium nitrate with the elemental fuel and the metal oxide. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein combining an additive, an elemental fuel, and a metal oxide to form an energetic material comprises combining ammonium nitrate, aluminum, and copper oxide to form the energetic material. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein heating the energetic material to a temperature between about 150° C. and about 300° C. at a slow rate to render the energetic material inert to ignition comprises heating the energetic material at a rate of less than about 100 degrees Celsius per minute. 8. A method of reducing ignition sensitivity of an energetic material, the method comprising: heating an energetic material to a temperature between about 150° C. and about 300° C. at a slow rate of less than about 100 degrees Celsius per minute, the energetic material comprising an elemental fuel, a metal oxide, and an additive selected from the group consisting of ammonium nitrate, aluminum stearate, copper carbonate, lithium 12-hydroxystearate, strontium oxalate, sulfur, zinc peroxide, zinc stearate, and combinations thereof; andheating the energetic material previously heated at the slow rate at a fast rate of greater than or equal to about 100 degrees Celsius per minute, wherein the energetic material previously heated at the slow rate does not ignite. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein heating the energetic material to a temperature between about 150° C. and about 300° C. at a slow rate to render the energetic material inert to ignition comprises increasing the fuel/oxidizer equivalence ratio of the energetic material. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein heating the energetic material to a temperature between about 150° C. and about 300° C. at a slow rate to render the energetic material inert to ignition comprises exposing the energetic material to heat produced by a fire. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein heating the energetic material to a temperature between about 150° C. and about 300° C. at a slow rate to render the energetic material inert to ignition comprises reacting the additive with the elemental fuel to produce an amount of energy below an autoignition temperature of the energetic material. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein combining an additive, an elemental fuel, and a metal oxide to form an energetic material comprises combining an amount of the additive with the elemental fuel and the metal oxide such that a combined amount of the metal oxide and the additive exhibits a fuel/oxidizer equivalence ratio for the energetic material of from about 4.0 to about 5.5. 13.
