Shock initiation and hot spots in plastic-bonded 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB)

Abstract: TATB (1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene) is a powerful explosive whose dynamical behavior is difficult to study because TATB is so insensitive to initiation by shock waves. We used a tabletop microscope equipped with 0–4.5 km/s laser-launched flyer plates to study shock initiation of TATB, which was fabricated in the form of an array of hundreds of plastic-bonded explosive minicharges (X-TATB = 80% TATB + 20% Sylgard 182 polymer). The 4 ns shocks from the flyer plates were not effective in initiating TATB, … Show more

“…Increased timing control brought by all-optical systems, allowing high-precision synchronization, has also triggered the development of more elaborate diagnostic capabilities (e.g. in the Dlott group at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) in shock experiments, including for instance real-time emission spectroscopy (101) and optical pyrometry (102).…”

“…Taken together, the reaction of LA within the height of 0.8 mm can only be considered as volume explosion, as discussed in previous work [ 1 ], for lack of an obvious interface between reaction zone and product-expansion zone and complete detonation profile.…”

“…The detonation growth of explosives has always been the focus and hotspot of detonation and shockwave physics [ 1 , 2 ], which possesses great value for understanding the detonation-reaction mechanism and building reaction models for computer simulations [ 3 ]. Although extensive research has been carried out on detonations with large size, few studies which adequately cover the phenomenon at microscale exist, resulting in a lack of novel insights into the miniaturization of pyrotechnics [ 4 , 5 ].…”

“…In addition, the energy performance of TATB is also poor. 8,9 Hence, the development of energetic compounds with suitable sensitivity, excellent energetic performance, and a simple synthesis route is the main research direction in the energetic material field. 10−14 Over the past few decades, the design of energetic compounds with good stability roughly follows the following strategies: (a) since intramolecular/intermolecular hydrogen bonding can enhance the stability of compounds, alternating nitro-amino structures can be formed on the skeletal structure of energetic compounds by introducing amino groups, thus achieving an increase in the stability of compounds; (b) enlarging the conjugation system of the compounds to achieve the goal of improving the thermal stability and decreasing the mechanical sensitivities of the compounds; and (c) conversion of neutral compounds into energetic ionic salts.…”

“…Nevertheless, TATB also has a problem that the sensitivity is too low to be triggered. In addition, the energy performance of TATB is also poor. , Hence, the development of energetic compounds with suitable sensitivity, excellent energetic performance, and a simple synthesis route is the main research direction in the energetic material field. …”
