Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.Ammonium dinitramide (ADN) and 3,4‐Diaminofurazan (DAF) form a 1:1 energetic cocrystal. We report its crystal structure and spectroscopic signature and evaluate thermal stability, decomposition behavior, hygroscopicity, and combustion properties. Propellant performance calculations benchmark the material against guanylurea dinitramide (GuDN) and ...

A Study on Preventing Thermal Runaway of Contaminated Ammonium Nitrate Prill in Bulk Storage
Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.Schematic illustration of a contaminated region of ammonium nitrate prill undergoing exothermic decomposition, producing gases containing NOx. The interstitial flow of these heated gases rapidly raises the temperature of ammonium nitrate along the flow path.

Ultrasound Characterization of Plastic Bonded Explosives With Varied Binder Content and Density
Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Advanced explosive formulations and methods of production require rapid characterization for both processes and materials. Here, we present results for ultrasound characterization of a plastic bonded explosive (PBX) formulation as a function of binder weight percent and pressing density using through‐transmission sound speed measurements.
