    Abstract:

    Boron (B)-based composite energetic materials, renowned for their high energy density, are employed in explosives and propellant formulations. In this study, B/ammonium perchlorate (AP)/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) composite energetic microspheres were synthesized using an emulsion-solvent evaporation method, with different PVDF mass fractions (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%). The surface morphology of the prepared microspheres was characterized via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). To evaluate their combustion behavior, a suspension combustion test was performed using an ultrasonic levitation laser ignition system. Through real-time diagnostics of micro-explosive combustion phenomena, the optimal PVDF content for the enhanced combustion performance was determined. The results revealed that the prepared microspheres possessed a near-spherical morphology and exhibited a three-stage combustion process (developing combustion stage, stable combustion stage and decreasing combustion stage), which was also accompanied by micro-explosions. Among the formulations, the microspheres with 10% PVDF demonstrated the most favorable combustion characteristics, exhibiting the largest flame area and brightness, the highest BO₂ emission intensity (11291.8 counts), the greatest BO₂ peak area integration (12856.8), and the highest surface combustion temperature (1243.8 ℃). These results indicate that the B/AP/PVDF microspheres exhibit optimal combustion characteristics and energy release performance at a PVDF content of 10%.
