Photochemistry of the α-Al2O3-PETN Interface

Molecules, 2016
Optical absorption measurements are combined with electronic structure calculations to explore photochemistry of an α-Al2O3-PETN interface formed by a nitroester (pentaerythritol tetranitrate, PETN, C5H8N4O12) and a wide band gap aluminum oxide (α-Al2O3)

Clustering rooting for the high heat resistance of some CHNO energetic materials

FirePhysChem, 2021
Highly thermostable energetic materials (EMs) are highly desired for deep underground and space exploration, and therefore have attracted much attention. This work employs four typical traditional EMs composed of C, H, N and O atoms as example to clarify

Isolation of tributyltin-degrading bacteria citrobacter braakii and enterobacter cloacae from butyltin-polluted sediment [PDF]

, 2009
Tributyltin compound (TBT) released into the aquatic environment is generally degraded by bacteria in water and sediment. The isolation of TBT-degrading bacteria from TBT polluted sediment leads to the indication of specific potential TBT degraders.

Crystallization and preliminary diffraction studies of pentaerythritol tetranitrate reductase from Enterobacter cloacae PB2 [PDF]

, 1998
Pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) reductase of Enterobacter cloacae PB2, a flavoprotein involved in the biodegradation of the explosive PETN, ethylene glycol dinitrate (EGDN) and glycerol trinitrate (GTN), was purified from an overexpressing strain of ...

Kinetic Analysis of the Thermal Decomposition of Polymer-Bonded Explosive Based on PETN: Model-Fitting Method and Isoconversional Method

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
This work investigates kinetics and thermal decomposition behaviors of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) and two polymer-bonded explosive (PBX) samples created from PETN (named as PBX-PN-85 and PBX-PP-85) using the vacuum stability test (VST) and ...

A Thermal and Nanomechanical Study of Molecular Crystals as Versatile Mocks for Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate

Crystals, 2020
Pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) is a commonly used high explosive (HE) in detonators. Often, surrogate or “mock” materials are used in place of HE for mechanical tests, proofing out equipment, or developing new diagnostics. However, there

Mechanical properties of β-HMX [PDF]

, 2015
Background: For a full understanding of the mechanical properties of a material, it is essential to understand the defect structures and associated properties and microhardness indentation is a technique that can aid this understanding.

Mitochondrial oxidative stress and nitrate tolerance – comparison of nitroglycerin and pentaerithrityl tetranitrate in Mn-SODmice [PDF]

, 2006
Background Chronic therapy with nitroglycerin (GTN) results in a rapid development of nitrate tolerance which is associated with an increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Pentaerythritol trinitrate succinate: a hapten for pentaerythritol tetranitrate

Acta Crystallographica Section E Structure Reports Online, 2006
The title compound, C10H15N3O13, is a derivative of the energetic compound penta­erythritol tetra­nitrate (PETN). It is a hapten (a small mol­ecule which can elicit an immune response only when coupled to a large carrier such as a protein) for PETN and was designed to be more stable and useful in immunochemistry.
