Assessment of the Interaction between Ammonium Dinitramide and Isocyanurate Bonding Agents for Application on Technologies of Composite Solid Propellants

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
This work investigates the interaction of two isocyanurate‐based bonding agents with ammonium dinitramide: triallyl isocyanurate and 1,3,5‐tris(2‐hydroxyethyl) isocyanurate, which contain alkene and hydroxyl functional groups in their side chains, respectively.

Characterization of Structure, Properties, and Energetic Performance of a 1:1 Ammonium Dinitramide‐3,4‐Diaminofurazan Cocrystal

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 ...

Reduced‐Order Modeling of Energetic Materials Using Physics‐Aware Recurrent Convolutional Neural Networks in a Latent Space (LatentPARC)

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
Physics‐Aware Recurrent Convolutional Neural Networks (PARC) can reliably learn the thermomechanics of energetic materials as a function of morphology. This work introduces LatentPARC, which accelerates PARC by modeling the dynamics in a low‐dimensional latent space.

Evaluation of a High‐Performance Monopropellant Formed of Microencapsulated Hydrocarbon Fuels in Combination With Gelled Hydrogen Peroxide in a Strand Burner Setup

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
A high‐performance premixed monopropellant is prepared from hydrocarbon‐filled microcapsules and hydrogen peroxide. This propellant is burned in a strand burner, and the effect of different parameters on the burn rate is evaluated. ABSTRACT A dispersion of hydrocarbon‐fuel‐filled microcapsules in gelled hydrogen peroxide can form a premixed ...

Characterization of Ultrafast Decomposition Dynamics in Nitrate Esters

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ignition of energetic materials initiates chemical reactions on atomic length scales within femtoseconds, making these reactions difficult to investigate experimentally. The technique of femtosecond time‐resolved mass spectrometry (FTRMS) can capture molecular rearrangement and bond‐breaking events in isolated molecules with sub‐50 femtosecond

Critical Review of Brazil Disk Techniques for Tensile Strength Characterization With an Emphasis on High Explosive Materials

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mechanical properties are a critical performance metric for many high explosive (HE) materials and tensile strength properties are particularly important. Direct tensile measurements using dogbone shaped samples are the gold standard but they have the disadvantage that they are fairly large and require samples machined from billets.

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.

Hydroxyl‐Terminated Polybutadiene‐Based Molding Powders as an Alternative Route for Manufacturing Pressed Polymer‐Bonded Explosives

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
This study presents an alternative method to manufacture polymer‐bonded explosives by partially curing an HTPB‐based molding powder prior to compaction. The study shows that the length of partial cure time before compaction directly influenced the geometric fidelity, homogeneity, compressive strength, density, and internal microstructure.

Solubilities of CL‐20 and MDNT in Organic Solvents for Technical Cocrystallization

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 1:1 molar cocrystal of 2,4,6,8,10,12‐hexanitro‐2,4,6,8,10,12‐hexaazaisowurtzitane (CL‐20) and 1‐methyl‐3,5‐dinitro‐1,2,4‐triazole (MDNT) is reported to show a detonation velocity 100 m/s faster than β‐HMX. To establish a scalable synthesis method, the solubility of ε‐CL‐20 and MDNT was investigated.
