Preparation and Characterization of HMX/Estane Nanocomposites

A new insensitive explosive based on octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) was prepared by spray drying using Estane 5703 as a binder. Scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize the morphology and particle size of the HMX/Estane 5703 nanocomposites. The composites were analyzed by X-ray diffractometry and differential scanning calorimetry and their impact sensitivity was determined. For comparison, raw HMX was also tested using these three methods. The nanocomposite morphology was found to be microspherical (1 to 8 μm diameter) and composed of many tiny particles, 30 to 150 nm in size. The crystal type of the HMX/Estane 5703 nanocomposites was unchanged. The activation energy, self-ignition temperature and average drop height of the raw HMX were 515.66 kJ·mol-1, 278.63 °C and 18.4 cm, respectively. In comparison, the corresponding values for the HMX/Estane 5703 nanocomposites were 488.92 kJ·mol-1, 279.3 °C and 75.4 cm, respectively.

Aluminum (Al) nanoparticles were prepared by the DC arc plasma method in order to study the influence of Al nanoparticles on the thermal decomposition of cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX). The Al powder was characterized by TEM, BET, XRD, and LSA, and the thermal decomposition of RDX and RDX/nanometer Al were examined by DSC. Based on the DSC curves, the thermal decomposition parameters of the samples were calculated and compared. The results showed that the particles of Al are homogeneous and fine, and that the surface is smooth. The TEM results showed that the nanoparticles are spherical, with an average diameter of approximately 60 nm. The peak temperature of RDX decomposition decreased by 4.36 K at the heating rates of 5, 10, and 20 K/min after the addition of nano-Al powder, and the activation energy for decomposition decreased by about 11 kJ/mol. Furthermore, the critical explosion temperature was also reduced. These observable changes indicate that Al nanoparticles act as catalysts for the thermal decomposition of RDX.
