High Performance Polymer-Bonded Explosive Containing PolyNIMMO For Metal Accelerating Applications

Abstract

Objectives of Study: *To develop new explosive compositions for metal accelerating applications which possess improved performance and lower vulnerability in comparison with currently available military explosives *To develop and utilise fully energetic binder systems based on polyNIMMO *Specifically, to at least match the performance of Octol 75/25 in terms of detonation pressure and metal accelerating ability whilst demonstrating reduced vulnerability
