The structural evolutionary behaviors of AgN3 have been studied by using the particle swarm optimization structure search method combined with the density functional theory. One stable high-pressure metal polymeric phase with the [Formula: see text] space group is suggested. The enthalpy difference analysis indicates that the Ibam-AgN3 phase will transfer to the I4/mcm-AgN3 phase at 4.7 GPa and then to the [Formula: see text]-AgN3 phase at 24 GPa. The [Formula: see text]-AgN3 structure is composed of armchair–antiarmchair N-chain, in which all the N atoms are sp2 hybridization. The inherent stability of the armchair–antiarmchair chain and the anion–cation interaction between the N-chain and Ag atom induce a high stability of the [Formula: see text]-AgN3 phase, which can be captured at ambient conditions and hold its stable structure up to 1400 K. The exhibited high energy density (1.88 KJ/g) and prominent detonation properties ([Formula: see text] Km/s; [Formula: see text] GPa) of the [Formula: see text]-AgN3 phase make it a potentially high energy density material.

1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene known as TATB is an insensitive high energy density material. It has two more constitutional isomers. The present study deals with all these triaminotrinitrobenzene isomers within the constraints of density functional theory at the levels of RB3LYP/6-31G(d,p) and UB3LYP/6-31G(d). Some geometrical and quantum chemical properties have been obtained and compared. The calculated IR and UV-VIS spectra are produced. Additionally the NICS values have been collected by calculating absolute NMR shielding values at the ring centers, NICS(0), and aromaticity of these isomers are compared. UB3LYP/6-31+G(d) level of calculations revealed that monoionic forms of these isomeric compounds are stable.

A new family of azaoxaadamantane cage compounds were firstly designed by introducing the oxygen atom into hexanitrohexaazaoxaadmantane (HNHAA) to replace the N–NO2 group. Their properties including heats of formation (HOFs), detonation properties, strain energies, thermal stability, and sensitivity were extensively studied by using density functional theory. All of the title compounds exhibit surprisingly high density (ρ > 2.01 g/cm3) and excellent detonation properties (detonation velocity (D) > 9.29 km/s and detonation pressure (P) > 40.80 GPa). In particular, B (4,8,9,10-tetraazadioxaadamantane) and C (6,8,9,10-tetraazadioxaadamantane) have a remarkably high D and P values (9.70 km/s and 44.45 GPa, respectively), which are higher than that of HNHAA or CL-20. All of the title compound have higher thermal stability and lower sensitivity (h50 > 19.58 cm) compared with the parent compound HNHAA. Three triazatrioxaadamantane cage compounds, D (6,8,9-triazatrioxaadamantane), E (6,8,10-triazatrioxaadamantane), and F (8,9,10-triazatrioxaadamantane), are expected to be relatively insensitive explosives. All of the title compounds exhibit a combination of high denotation properties, good thermal stability, and low insensitivity.

AbstractThe application of intense pulsed light (IPL) to printed copper nanoparticle (CuNP) films enables rapid curing on low temperature substrates in ambient conditions. In this work, we printed CuNP ink on liquid crystal polymer (LCP; Vectra A resin) and then cured the films using a high energy density light pulse. High-resolution SEM images of the cured films revealed that the CuNPs on LCP were fused together. Optimal curing parameters were a 5 ms pulse, 75% duty cycle, and an energy density range of 4.2–5.2 J⋅cm-2. Sheet resistance, Rs, values as low as ~0.1 Ω⋅sq-1were obtained. The LCP substrate took on a yellowed appearance after the application of five pulses and exhibited a surface free energy increase. A filter that blocked wavelengths <450 nm was placed over the printed copper film on LCP. As expected, the presence of the filter decreased the total energy density and produced a cured film with high Rs; however, when the energy density was increased in the presence of the filter, the Rs remained high (0.95 Ω⋅sq-1). This preliminary work indicates that additional studies are required not only to understand low thermal budget curing on LCP, but also to elucidate the properties of substrates that enable low Rs.
