A Mass-Spectrometric Investigation of Chemical Aspects of Several Energetic Propellants and Explosives.
Abstract
During the course of the contract chemical aspects of several propellants and explosives were investigated. Employing mass spectrometer species identification, combustion, decomposition kinetic and ignition experiments were performed to determine the mechanisms and reactions of several energetic materials. Four general categories of compounds were involved: (1) super rate and plateau burning propellants, (2) advanced gun propellant candidates, (3) the propellant and explosive compounds, 1,3,5-trinitrohexahydro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetraazacyclooctane (HMX), and 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB), and (4) a new series of high nitrogen binder materials.
