      Abstract (1918) HTML (189) PDF 1.39 M (3685) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The absorption spectra of some primary explosives and explosives were measured,and their laser sensitivities were compared with the different wavelengths laser testes. The results show that there are continuous absorbing peak for DACP in ultraviolet-visible wave,and the laser sensitivity is remarkably increased with 635 nm laser. In 532-1060 nm,there is no relation between BNCP sensitivity and wave. Many new complex compounds have quite high laser sensitivity to 915 nm. According to testing phenomena and results,it is considered that the different laser wavelength shall lead to the different exploding mechanism of compound. If the laser is in ultravioletvisible wave,photons activate choicely electron energy level or destroy weak bond of compound molecule,and result in chemistry reaction,which is photo leading decomposition mechanism. If the laser is in infrared wave,the chemistry reaction mainly is heat decomposition mechanism.

      Abstract:The relationship between charge density and loading pressure,and between laser ignition delay time and charge density of Zr/KClO4 were studied by fiber inserted laser igniter. The density ranges of 0.94-1.39 g·cm-3 corresponding to the loading pressure ranges of 5-130 MPa and the delay time ranges of 2.83-0.54 ms corresponding to the density ranges of 1.0-1.38 g·cm-3 were obtained. With the density below 1.25 g·cm-3,the ignition delay time changes faster with density,and tends to be stable when the density overpasses 1.30 g·cm-3,with the shortest delay time in 0.54 ms. When the density is lower,such as below 1.07 g·cm-3 and the corresponding loading pressure is less than 30 MPa,scattering of experimental data is bigger.

Tensile intensities of propellant were tested in the meantime,and compared with theoretical estimatecalculation. It shows that theorital tensile intensity of SB,DB and TEGDN were calculated to be 3.8×107 N·m-2,11.2×106 N·m-2 and 10.1×106 N·m-2,respectively. Their testing values were 3.1×107 N·m-2,10.6×106 N·m-2 and 8.9×106 N·m-2,respectively. It can be concluded that tensile intensity of propellant is mainly provided by intermolecular Van der Waals force. Tensile intensity of dissolutionaddingplasticity propellant can be calculated theoretically by polymer theory.

      Abstract (1823) HTML (188) PDF 1.66 M (2838) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Combustion characteristics of B/BaCrO4 delay composition were obtained by the technique of high speed camera. Results show that there exist the pulsed combustions and gas flow in the combustion process of B/BaCrO4 delay composites. The condensed phases of products depend on the content of B,in which the phase is melted drops at lower content of B,but layered substances at higher content of B. When the different pressure of the composition surface is stronger than the stress strength of the solid products,the solid products will be pulled from the composite surface and flow with the gas. The thickness of layered substance of 14% B was 1.2 mm,and the blowed periods of layered substance of 14% B was 17.8 ms. The burning rate of B/BaCrO4 delay composites increase with the content of B in the range of 8%-16%.

      Abstract (1991) HTML (173) PDF 1.13 M (2299) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Tetraammine-cis-bis (5-nitro-2H-tetrazolato-N2) cobalt (Ⅲ) perchlorate (BNCP) superfine particles were obtained by fluid milling and cryogenic drying methods with absolute ethanol as non-solvent. Their particle sizes were mostly under 2 microns and their surface area were from 3.88 m2?g-1 to 13.9 m2?g-1. The results show that their impact sensitivity and friction sensitivity decrease with increase of surface area. Electrostatic sensitivity of superfine particles is higher than that of origin particles while they change indistinctively with increase of surface area. DSC exothermic onset temperature and exothermic peak temperature become lower with the increase of surface area.

      2008, 16(5):521-524.

      Abstract (2205) HTML (179) PDF 1.16 M (2915) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The diffusion of deterrent in manufacturing process determines the interior ballistic performance of newly manufactured extruded impregnated propellants. The diffusion of polymeric deterrent was investigated by FTIR microspectroscopy. The results show that the concentration profile of deterrent of newly manufactured propellant is in accord with the Second Fickian diffusion model. The diffusion coefficient of deterrent in manufacturing process can be calculated by the concentration profile equation,which is 1.639×10-13 m2·s-1. A comparative experiment was carried out between internal standard method and external standard method. The results show that in the internal standard method the mathematical treatment of uniform distribution of NG in deterred layer has no effect on the order of magnitude of the diffusion coefficient,so the systematical deviations of the reconcentration profile obtained from the imperfection of calibration model can be neglected.

      Abstract (2268) HTML (171) PDF 1.17 M (2742) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Density functional method was applied to the study of the isomers of the primary explosive of tetrazene. The geometrical structures of the three isomers of tetrazene molecule which had been proposed formerly were fully optimized at the B3LYP/6311+G** level of theory. The results show that the total energy of (Ⅲ) is less than that of (Ⅰ) and (Ⅱ),indicating that (Ⅲ) is the most stable structure,which is in agreement with the fact that tetrazene molecules in its crystal adopt structures similar to (Ⅲ). The computational results of the IR vibration of the three isomers show that there is no imaginary frequency,which indicates that all of them are possibly existent structures. The NBO charges of the atoms of the three isomers show that the arrangement of atoms of (Ⅲ) facilitates the charge distribution better than (Ⅰ) and (Ⅱ). It can be concluded from the frontier molecular orbital analysis that N(8) is the most active atom of tetrazene,and bond N(8)—N(12) will break first when it is activated.

      2008, 16(5):585-587.

      Abstract (2515) HTML (170) PDF 1.14 M (2530) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Tetrazene was analyzed by electric spray ionization mass spectrometry (ESIMS) to study its fragmentation pathways and mechanism. Fragments and structurally informative spectra of tetrazene were obtained. Results show that the atom N is most likely to dissociate in neutral fragment forms of NH2,HCN,HCN2,N3 and N4,while the fragmentation mechanisms are the cleavage of C—N and N—N and the rearrangment. The relatively stronge peak at m/z 68.9 indicates that tetrazole cycle is stable in the molecule. The presence of stronge peaks at m/z 68.9 and m/z 95.8 suggests that the cleavages of C(5)—N(1) bond and N(2)—N(3) bond are ready to form tetrazole radical,aminoguanidinyl radical and molecular nitrogen.

      Abstract:Infrared extinction ability and application of tiny graphite powder in combustible antiinfrared smoke screen were studied. Results show that infrared extinction ability of dispersed graphite is stronger when its granularity is smaller. The graphite can burn when it is used in combustible antiinfrared smoke screen. When graphite is added from 20% to 5% respectively,its burning loss is accordingly increased from 31.6% to 57.6% in formula containing organic combustible and from 44.6% to 80.5% in formula containing metal combustible. In order to make use of graphite effectively,5% carbon black is added into combustible antiinfrared aerosol containing oxidant,organic combustible and 20% graphite. Compared to the original formula,the use of carbon black can effectively prevent combustion of graphite and improve infrared extinction of smoke screen containing graphite.

      Abstract (2283) HTML (176) PDF 1.25 M (2961) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In order to explore the relationship between structure and properties of hydroxyalkyl cellulose ether nitrate,molecular structures of nitrate ester of hydroxylethyl cellulose ether (NHEC),nitrate ester of hydroxylpropyl cellulose (NHPC) and nitrate ester of cellulose glycerol ether (NGEC) with molar substitution (MS) of 1 were simulated by using Synthia module of Materials Studio,and their performances of nitrogen content,glass transition temperature and Young′s modulus were predicted. The titled etherified products with MS of 1 and nitrates with maximum nitrification degree were synthesized,and the conditions of synthesis were determined. The mass ratio of HNO3 to organic solvent is 50 to 50 in nitrification system,and the mass ratio of cellulose ether to nitrification system is 1 to 50,and the reaction temperature and time are 22 ℃ and 30 min respectively. Some relevant properties of the products were measured by elemental analysis,tensile test and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. Although there are some deviation between the results estimated by Synthia and the measured besides the larger error on the prediction of Young′s modulus,the results show that performances trends E0(NGEC )>E0 (NHPC)>E0 (NHEC) predicted by Synthia module have agreements with experiments. It indicates that the molecular simulation by Synthia module is qualitative in analysis of the system.
