Symmetrical cyclo-N5ˉ hydrogen bonds: stabilization mechanism of four non-metallic cyclo-pentazolate energetic salts

Pairing different cations (R+) to stable cyclo-N5ˉ is one main synthesize path for non-metallic cyclo-pentazolate (cyclo-N5ˉ) salts. As novel energetic materials (EMs), crystalline packing-force of cyclo-N5ˉ salts has been a...

Effect of Nano-Sized Energetic Materials (nEMs) on the Performance of Solid Propellants: A Review

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.
