Enhancing energetic features of HTPB binder through nitro-functionalization and nitrocellulose doping

open access: yesFirePhysChem
This study presents a double modification strategy to enhance hydroxyl‑terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) properties as an energetic binder. HTPB was chemically nitrated to obtain nitro-HTPB (NHTPB), then blended with nitrocellulose (NC) at different ratios

Resistive Heating and Thermal Decomposition of an Additively Manufacturable Electrically Conductive Explosive

open access: yesPropellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, Volume 50, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract The ability to transmit electrical signals through high explosive charges without using dense metal conductors could enable continuous monitoring of explosive charges with internally embedded sensors. With the sensor materials themselves being energetic, the impact on the intended detonation performance of the charge can be minimized. Embedded
