Low Temperature Effects on TNT

Abstract

The effects of low temperature on TNT were determined by subjecting the explosive material to liquid nitrogen and studying the effects through differential thermal analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, thermomechanical analysis, impact sensitivity, detonation velocity and plate dent tests.
