In this paper, the composites of a newly insensitive
high explosive
2,4,6-triamino-5-nitropyrimidine-1,3-dioxide (ICM-102) with nanosized
metals (Al, Co, Mg, Si, Ti, and Zr) and nanosized metal oxides (CuO
and Fe2O3) have been prepared and investigated
in terms of thermal reactivity. The catalytic effects on the thermal
decomposition of ICM-102 composites have been investigated by TGA-DSC
technique. Among all the composites, ICM-102/Co shows the minimum
residue rate of 1.57 wt % and ICM-102/Si shows the maximum heat release
of 1001.9 J g–1. The kinetic parameters for the
catalytic decomposition of ICM-102 have been obtained. The activation
energy (E
a
) of ICM-102
decomposition is within 197.9–212.0 kJ mol–1. Compared with ICM-102, the E
a
of ICM-102/Si decomposition was decreased by about 90 kJ mol–1. The decomposition gaseous products of ICM-102 and
its composites have been analyzed by the TG-MS technique. It has been
shown that the main gaseous products are H2O, C2H4, C3, and C2N or C3H2. The ICM-102 decomposition undergoes intramolecular
dehydration, followed by two different ring-opening chemical pathways.
The decomposition products are largely dependent on the type of additives.
