SENSITIVITY FUNDAMENTALS

Abstract

Fundamental sensitivity properties of difluoroamino compounds are being studied in the following situations: (1) the detonation characteristics including the shock sensitivity of the liquid phase; (2) the relation of shock sensitivity and failure diameter to the flow and the chemical reaction rate behind the shock front; and (3) the mechanism and kinetics of thermal decomposition of the compounds in solution and in the liquid phase. These interrelated situations were chosen for their susceptibility to analysis in terms of basic physical and chemical parameters. Each study is being carried out on 1,2-bis(difluoroamino)propane (1,2-DP) and 2,2-bis(difluoroamino)propane (2,2-DP), in order to assess the importance of structural variation. Thermal decomposition studies have also begun on 1,3-bis(difluoroamino)propane (1,3-DP).
