Microcellular combustible materials, based on poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) bonded RDX, were fabricated by the pressure quench method using supercritical CO2. After foaming, the bulk density, porosity, expansion ratio and cell density were analyzed. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has also been used to investigate the influence of the foaming conditions (temperature, saturation pressure and depressurization time) and the RDX ratio on the porous structure. The skin-core structure was also observed after the pressure quench process. The mechanical sensitivities and burning performance were investigated by the friction sensitivity test, the impact sensitivity test and the closed vessel test, respectively.
