Bicyclo-HMX (BCHMX) was studied in the form of a plastic explosive bonded by the plastic matrix of the explosive Semtex 10 and the results were compared with the original Semtex 10 which contains PETN as an explosive filler. The tests included measurements in the sensitivity to impact and friction. The thermal stability was studied using differential thermal analysis (DTA) with the evaluation of the outputs using the Kissinger method. The detonation velocity was measured experimentally and the detonation characteristics were calculated by means of EXPLO 5 code and the Kamlet & Jacobs method. On the basis of mutual comparison of all the obtained results, it was concluded that replacement of PETN by Bicyclo-HMX enhances the friction sensitivity, thermal stability and the detonation parameters of the explosive Semtex 10, while the impact sensitivity is approximately the same. Calculated results of EXPLO 5 code showed good agreement with the experimental detonation velocities.
