Abstract:A detonation process based on 2,4,6 trinitrotoluene (TNT), used as an energetic reagent, was successfully implemented in the synthesis of a series of metal oxide ceramics. TNT offers better physicochemical and mechanical properties than the energetic compounds traditionally used in such processes, thus offering safer handling and transport conditions. The experimental procedure, which consisted to of mixing the energetic molecule with a ceramic salt, was simple to perform. The detonation products were characte… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
