In this work the complex experimental investigation of the microstructure and burning parameters of HMX-monopropellant and 25%Al/75%HMX energetic systems was carried on with the particle size variation. Components, their mixtures, pressed samples, and the combustion products (agglomerates) collected from a burning surface by QPCB (quench particle collection bomb) technique were investigated. Two types of HMX particles: micro-sized (mHMX) and ultrafne (uHMX) and aluminium powders: micro- and ultra-sized (ALEXTM) were used. Morphology and particle size were examined by atomic-force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and BET-analysis. AFM analysis shows the ALEXTM average volume particle size is 180 nm. It was shown, that the monopropellant's burning rates of the micro- and ultra-sized HMX are almost identical in the pressure range 20-100 atm. Two mixing technologies to prepare Al/HMX compositions were used: (i) conventional "dry" mixing and (ii) "wet" technique with ultrasonic processing in diethyl ether. Applying of ultrasonic technique results in a burning rate increase up to 18% comparing to "dry" mixing (under pressure 60 atm). The highest combustion rate was determined for composition of mHMX/ALEXTM (porosity 13%). Infuence of component N. Muravyev et al. size and composition's microstructure on the burning rate of energetic systems is discussed and analyzed.
