A Mass-Spectrometric Investigation of the Decomposition Products of Advanced Propellants and Explosives.

Abstract

The results of a mass spectrometric study of several advanced propellants and explosives to determine the chemistry and kinetics of their decompositon are presented. The technical program involved three propellant groups: (1) ignition and thermal decomposition of advanced lead organic additive propellants; (2) sublimation and thermal decomposition of trinitro-triamino benzene; and (3) sublimation and thermal decomposition of 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetraazacyclooctane (HMX).
