To discover the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) powder size impact to Mg/PTFE pyrotechnic composition, hot compatibility of various particle sizes of PTFE powder with spherical superfine Mg powder was studied. Safety performance of Mg/PTFE pyrotechnic composition was also researched by parameters of friction and impact sensitivity. Burning temperature and velocity were recorded and analysed. The result shows that the Mg/PTFE exothermic temperature peak floats =0.8~2.2°C, apparent activation energy alter ratio (AAEAR) =12.5%~17.8%, ignition probability due to friction sensitivity =0.32~0.48 and to impact sensitivity =0. It indicates that PTFE powder size will not inflect the safety of Mg/PTFE composition, which burns more stable with PTFE size great than 400μm. Once mass combustion velocity 2.09~3.87 g•cm-2•s-1 and linearcombustion velocity 5.02~8.13 mm•s-1, the combustion velocity will increase much by following with PTFE particle sizes decrease.

The Impact

As a hot research topic, nano-scale energetic materials have recently attracted much attention in the fields of propellants and explosives. The preparation of different types of nano-sized energetic materials were carried out, and the effects of nano-sized energetic materials (nEMs) on the properties of solid propellants and explosives were investigated and compared with those of micro-sized ones, placing emphasis on the investigation of the hazardous properties, which could be useable for solid rocket nozzle motor applications. It was found that the nano-sized energetic materials can decrease the impact sensitivity and friction sensitivity of solid propellants and explosives compared with the corresponding micro-sized ones, and the mechanical sensitivities are lower than that of micro-sized particles formulation. Seventy-nine references were enclosed.

The Impact

<p>Desensitisation of explosive materials using polymers is an important area in safe utilisation of explosives in various applications. The RDX/viton composition has been developed using co-precipitation method with varying content of viton, ranging from 5 to 35 wt per cent. RDX and viton were dissolved in acetone which is a common solvent for RDX and viton, and then the acetone was extracted from the solution by distillation resulting in homogeneous RDX/viton composition. Infrared spectroscopy studies indicated presence of RDX and viton in the resulting compositions. Thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis studies made on yielded compositions confirmed that RDX is present in the composition in desired content. The shift in exotherm of RDX/viton composition as compared to RDX showed that polymer-bonded RDX compositions are more stable. The impact sensitivity studies showed that sensitivity of RDX/viton composition decreased with increasing content of viton. The similar trend was observed for friction sensitivity. The co-precipitation method has been found to be advantages to obtain homogeneous composition of RDX and viton (with viton content up to 25 wt per cent) as revealed by linear trend in sensitivity data measurements. It has been demonstrated that the sensitivity of RDX can be tailored within a wide range using viton so as to suit in desired applications.</p><p><strong>Defence Science Journal, Vol. 65, No. 4, July 2015, pp. 287-291, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14429/dsj.65.8647</strong></p>

Solid Rocket Propellants

Several industrial- and research – type fuel rich solid rocket propellants containing nano-metric aluminum metal particles, featuring the same nominal composition, were prepared and experimentally analyzed. The effects of nano-sized aluminum (nAl) on the rheological properties of metal/HTPB slurries and fuel rich solid propellant slurries were investigated. The energetic properties (heat of combustion and density) and the hazardous properties (impact sensitivity and friction sensitivity) of propellants prepared were analyzed and the properties mentioned above compared to those of a conventional aluminized (micro-Al, mAl) propellant. The strand burning rate and the associated combustion fl ame structure of propellants were also determined. The results show that nAl powder is nearly “round” or “ellipse” shaped, which is different from the tested micrometric Al used as a reference metal fuel. Two kinds of Al (nAl and mAl) powder can be dispersed in HTPB binder suffi ciently. The density of propellant decreases with increasing mass fraction of nAl powder; the measured heat of combustion, friction sensitivity, and impact sensitivity of propellants increase with increasing mass fraction of nAl powder in the formulation. The burning rates of fuel rich propellant increase with increasing pressure, and the burning rate of the propellant loaded with 20% mass fraction of nAl powder increases 77.2% at 1 MPa, the pressure exponent of propellant increase a little with increasing mass fraction of nAl powder in the explored pressure ranges.

The Impact

To improve the safety of cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine (HMX) particles, the polymer thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) and nitrocellulose (NC) were introduced to coat HMX powder by water-solution suspension method and internal solution method, respectively. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray photo-electron spectrometry (XPS) were employed to characterize the HMX samples and the role of NC and TPU in the coating processes were discussed. The impact sensitivity, friction sensitivity, and the thermal decomposition of coated HMX particles were investigated, and compared to the unprocessed ones. The results indicate that both TPU and NC can improve the wetting ability of the coating materials on HMX surface and reinforce the connection between HMX and the coating materials. The impact sensitivity and friction sensitivity of HMX samples decrease obviously after they have been surface coated; the drop height (H50) is increased from 35.24 cm to 50.08 cm, and the friction probability is reduced from 93.2 % to 58.3%. The activation energy (Ea) and the self-ignition temperature increase by 10.46 KJ·mol-1 and 1.8, respectively.
