    Abstract:

    Co-crystal technology is one of the effective methods to reduce the sensitivity of CL-20. Studying the chemical reaction of CL-20 co-crystal under shock is helpful to understand the shock reaction mechanism of CL-20 co-crystal, which is of great significance to the safety evaluation and analysis of explosives. In this study, the molecular dynamics method of ReaxFF-lg reaction force field and the non-equilibrium loading method were used to simulate the shock compression process of CL-20/DNT, CL-20/DNB and CL-20/MDNT co-crystals at 2-5 km·s-1 shock velocity. The thermodynamic evolution characteristics, initial chemical reaction path and product information of energetic co-crystals after shock are obtained and compared with those of CL-20. It’s discovered that the three co-crystals of CL-20/DNT, CL-20/DNB and CL-20/MDNT have a certain degree of shock sensitivity reduction, and the order of shock sensitivity of the three co-crystals is CL-20/MDNT>CL-20/DNB>CL-20/DNT. The decomposition reaction of the three co-crystals all starts from the decomposition of CL-20, and the decomposition rate of CL-20 is faster than that of DNT, DNB and MDNT. At the shock velocity of 2 km·s-1, the polymerization reaction of CL-20 co-crystal occurs first. The polymerization reaction between CL-20 and co-crystal ligand molecules is earlier than that between CL-20 molecules, and the reaction frequency is much higher than that between CL-20 molecules. At the shock velocity of 3 km·s-1, the N─N and C─N bonds of CL-20 are first broken, and the cage structure is destroyed. At the same time, NO2 is generated. NO2 generated by the initial bond breaking of CL-20 further combines with the eutectic ligand molecules DNT, DNB and MDNT to reduce the concentration of the intermediate products of CL-20 reaction, so as to achieve the desensitization effect. At the shock velocity of 4 or 5 km·s-1, the ring skeleton structure in CL-20 is directly destroyed, the C-N bond is broken, generating small molecular fragments, including N2, NO2, H2, CO2, H2O and other products.
