Thermal Decomposition Pathways in Nitramine Propellants.
Abstract
We have investigated intermediates and products in the thermal decomposition of RDX vapor, using a variety of experimental microwave techniques previously employed in our laboratory in studies of pyrolysis decomposition of organic amines. We used microwave spectroscopy to determine the chemical composition of the decomposition of nitramines by pyrolysis methods and identify the products in the thermal decomposition processes. The objective was to determine the validity of proposed decomposition mechanisms, and to identify new reaction products or pathways. jg p.1
