Desensitization of Explosive Materials
Abstract
The desensitization of explosive compounds has been studied by the synthesis and testing of analogs of selected molecular structures in which part of the hydrogen has been replaced by fluorine. The objectives were to demonstrate whether or not 'chemical desensitization' could be achieved with fluorine in specific positions and groupings, to infer from the results how the fluorine affected the initiation process, and to permit the design and synthesis of high energy and relatively insensitive compounds.
