“…Generally, the detonation parameters, explosion energy, and energy structure of a civil explosive are normally specified in order to characterize its performance. Because the detonation velocity and explosive brisance are widely acknowledged in the commercial explosive field [23][24][25][26], these parameters are first measured under the rule of testing as soon as experimental samples are prepared. Each formula was tested three times under the same condition, and the average experimental results of detonation velocity and explosive brisance are obtained and plotted in Figure 4(a) and Figure 4(b), respectively.…”

This paper introduces a novel emulsion explosive, which has three primary advantages, namely, the ability to easily adjust various detonation properties to desired values, decrease the overall cost of civil explosive products, and minimize environmental pollution during use. Immediate and time‐related experiments are performed in order to identify changing detonation properties of these new formulas. Our results show that both common clay and hollow glass micro‐spheres (HGMs) function as thermal diluents, which indicates that for a larger quantity of these additives, the weaker are the detonation properties under the condition of our experimental ratios (HGMs: from 5 wt.% to 15 wt.%; common clay: from 0 wt.% to 20 wt.%). Furthermore, a comparison of four alternative emulsion explosive compositions reveals that the longest storage time in this study is 5 weeks with No. 3‐3, which contains 15 wt.% HGMs and 10 wt.% common clay. In addition, nonlinear attenuation is observed and explained for that period.
