Sensitivity of energetic materials: Evidence of thermodynamic factor on a large array of CHNOFCl compounds

Optimized energetic HNTO/AN co-crystal and its thermal decomposition kinetics in the presence of energetic coordination nanomaterials based on functionalized graphene oxide and cobalt

“…However, experts in the field have revealed that it is commonly problematic to balance between satisfactory stability, sensitivity and performance for suitable storage, handling, transportation, and uses of advanced EMs. 13 Consequently, it is prerequisite to address such drawbacks through the employment of modern approaches such as coating technologies, doping with inert/energetic ingredients, and co-crystallization processes, which proved their efficiency during the last few years, to synthesis and design novel EMs with tailorable properties. 14 …”

Mechanical stimulation of energetic materials at the nanoscale

“…As model compounds we have selected four structurally diverse energetic materials (EMs) with a range of impact and friction sensitivity values, 37 Atomic force microscopy (AFM) investigation was performed on the (010) and (100) faces of PA crystals with a scan frame size set below 10 Â 10 mm to avoid large height variations caused by the inclined position of the crystal facet relative to the substrate. AFM images show that the surfaces of PA comprise flat plateaus, with notable steps.…”

“…1 Chemical structure of the four energetic compounds investigated in paper, alongside their impact (IS) and friction sensitivity (FS), as well as their melting (T m ) or extrapolated onset decomposition (T d ) temperatures. 37 Therefore, the spontaneous molecular migration observed on PA surfaces at room temperature is unlikely to be the result of sublimation.…”

Progress and performance of energetic materials: open dataset, tool, and implications for synthesis

“…[5][6][7] This oen is at odds with the other main goal of increased stability against thermal and mechanical stimuli. [8][9][10] Balancing these two goals motivates most of the synthetic efforts in new energetic compounds. Initial studies of new materials usually include the synthesis route, X-ray structure determination, thermal stability and mechanical sensitivity results, and the calculated detonation parameters (e.g., ref.…”
