Abstract:2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene
(TNT) is a common insensitive energetic material
for a variety of applications. Previous studies on TNT have revealed
a complex nature of the material in terms of physical and chemical
properties. We demonstrate the use of recrystallization and spray
drying of TNT to produce a unique particle morphology with high purity
and investigate important changes in the physical and chemical properties.
We observed that spray drying of TNT fully isolated the less stable
orthorhombic crystalline pha… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
