Synthesis, Characterization, and Sensitivity Analysis of Urea Nitrate (UN)

Abstract

Urea nitrate (UN) was synthesized and analyzed to determine the rate of mass loss of the material at various temperatures. The sensitivity of the material to external impact was also determined. From the results of the study, UN is safe to store under normal operating conditions.
