Energetic materials, comprising furoxan and 1,2,4-oxadiazole backbones, were synthesized by nitrating 3,3′-bis(5-amino-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-4,4′-azofuroxan, followed by cation metathesis, giving compounds with high density, high detonation performance and acceptable sensitivities.

A family of nitrogen-rich compounds based on CA anion were synthesized and investigated. Most salts exhibit good detonation properties and BAM fall hammer tests show that these compounds are very insensitive to impact.

A series of guanidine cations and azole anions were designed for use as energetic salts. Their geometrical structures were optimized by the density functional theory (DFT) method. The counter ions were matched by the similar magnitude of the electron affinity (EA) of the cation and the ionization potential (IP) of the anion. The densities, heats of formation, detonation parameters, and impact sensitivity were predicted. The incorporation of guanidine cations and diazole anions are favorable to form thermal stable salts except cation A1. The diaminoguanidine cation has greater impact on the density and detonation properties of the salts than the triaminoguanidine cation. 2-Amino-3-nitroamino-4,5-nitro-dinitropyrazole is the best anion for advancing the detonation performance among all the anions. Incorporating the C=O bond into the guanidine cations enhances the density and detonation performance of the guanidine-azole salts. The salts containing III1–III4 anion have better detonation properties than HMX, indicating that these salts are potential energetic compounds. Compared with RDX or HMX, some salts with diaminoguanidine cation display lower impact sensitivity.

A series of energetic salts based on 1,2-dinitroguanidine were successfully synthesised and fully characterised using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry. The results show that all the salts possess higher detonation properties (detonation pressures and velocities ranging from 24.8 to 30.3 GPa and 7665 to 8422 m s–1, respectively) than those of trinitrotolouene (TNT, 2,4,6-trinitromethylbenzene). The thermal stability and thermal kinetic parameters were also investigated to give a better understanding of the physical and chemical properties of these energetic salts.

AbstractRecently there has been a focused effort to develop reliable nanoscopic writing and reading capabilities. Dip-pen nanolithography (DPN) has emerged as a convenient method to deliver nanoscale materials onto a substrate by leveraging scanning probe microscopy capability. A new application for the DPN method is the field of microdetonics which is the microscale decomposition and study of reactions of explosives. Results are presented for patterning pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) and cyclotetramethylene tetranitramine (HMX) on silicon and mica substrates. The ultimate goal is to pattern both energetic materials in nanoscale registry and investigate their reaction and decomposition at the nanoscale due to heating or shock initiation. In addition to patterning of high explosives, a discussion on the effect of surface energy on patterning rates is investigated. This knowledge will be applicable to inks beyond high explosives.

AbstractDeformation of energetic materials may cause undesired reactions and therefore hazardous situations. The deformation of an energetic material and in particular shear deformation is studied in this paper. Understanding of the phenomena leading to shear initiation is not only necessary to explain for example the response of munitions to intrusions or large deformations imposed in storage and transportation accidents. A fundamental understanding of shear initiation also provides the opportunity to initiate energetic materials in a different and controlled manner, and possibly with a tailored reaction rate of the material. Several small and large scale experiments have been performed in which a shear deformation is imposed onto high explosives as well as thermite based reactive materials. Experiments are numerically simulated in order to correlate small and large scale experiments and understand the initiation mechanisms.

Particle distribution of titanium hydride (TiH2) during the ball mill process was studied by milling it with different time. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) pictures showed that particle size decreased quickly at the initial stage, and homogeneous, super fine TiH2 powder was obtained after 4 h mill. Application of TiH2 in energetic materials was investigated by preparation of TiH2/RDX composite explosive and measuring the detonation speed. Results showed that detonation speed of TiH2/RDX explosive was depended on the content and particle size of TiH2. TiH2 is a potential additive in high explosives (HE).
