Thermal Expansion of LX‐17, PBX 9502, and Ultrafine TATB

“…Linear strain, referenced to 21 o C on the first up-cycle, is the baseline. The ability to compare results to the liquid immersion densities determined by Baytos [5] justifies the conversion of strain data into densities. …”

“…Not included in Skidmore were important immersion densities of PBX 9502 done by Baytos and Martinez [5].…”
