Some New High Energy Materials and their Formulations for Specialized Applications

Abstract: Energetic materials form an integral part of most weapon systems and a large number of new high‐energy materials: thermally stable explosives, high‐performance explosives, melt‐castable explosives, insensitive high explosives and energetic binders have been reported in the literature in recent years. Some explosive formulations based on these new energetic materials are also vaguely reported. This paper examines these materials and their formulations from the point of view of stability, reliability, safety and… Show more

“…Thermally stable secondary explosives are widely needed for special applications such as drilling deep oil-wells and space exploration. The research on heat-resistant explosives was reviewed e. g. by Urbanski and Vasudeva [17], Agrawal [18] and Sikder [19]. The state of the art reference in these applications is hexanitrostilbene (HNS), which is easily synthesized by oxidation of 2,4,6-trinitro-toluene (TNT) and is stable up to 318 • C.…”

“…The thermal stability and performance of PL-1 is slightly inferior to TATB, but its density is better than TATB. In addition to impact and friction is comparable with TATB [10,11]. The attention this molecule has received has to do not only with its applications but also with its intriguing symmetry and electronic withdraw-donate groups.…”

“…The ε polymorph [18][19][20] of CL-20 crystals is the densest and most thermodynamically stable form of the reported crystalline forms (α, β, γ and ε). However, the ε-CL-20 crystal has also failed to meet the high demands of safety for modern ordnance due to its high sensitivity.…”
