Preparation of HMX/TATB spherical composite explosive by droplet microfluidic technology

New TKX‐55‐based heat resistant microspheres

“…The mass ratio of TKX-55 and fluororubber is 95 : 5. All samples were prepared by microfluidic method [23][24].…”

Exploring the thermal decomposition and detonation mechanisms of 2,4-dinitroanisole by TG-FTIR-MS and molecular simulations

“…Nitro-aromatic compounds are important energetic materials that are widely used in many military and civilian applications. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Among them, 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) is an insensitive melt-cast matrix ingredient, which was used to prepare Amatol-40 explosives in WWII. 11,12 Since the 1980s, DNAN has again aroused strong attention and has become a promising energetic material to replace the traditional trinitrotoluene (TNT) in melt-cast explosives to make them less sensitive [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] owing to its kinetic inertness and thermal stability.…”

Preparation of μ-HMX/C-Based Composite Energy Composite Microspheres by Microdroplet Technology

“…By refining and sieving the product to obtain a uniform crystal powder or sphericalizing the cladding particles, the safety of the battle charge and the uniformity of the energy density inside the bomb can be greatly improved . In the process of sphericalization cladding, secondary refinement of the energy-containing material particles is required, which is an important basis for obtaining highly stable droplets and highly consistent composite energy-containing microspheres. , This process substantially reduces the industrial productivity of explosives and increases the economic and environmental burden of the production process. Therefore, it is essential to find a regulated sphericalization capping process to sphericalize Micro-HMX (μ-HMX) so that it can meet the requirements for the use of conventional weapons ammunition.…”
