The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of agglomerated TATB on the mechanical and sensitivity properties of cast polymer-bonded explosives (PBXs). By introducing agglomerated TATB, cast PBXs with a high solids content can be obtained. The mechanical properties of TATB-based cast PBXs were evaluated by tensile and compression tests. The experimental results showed that the addition of the agglomerated TATB clearly enhanced the ductility and fracture toughness, but decreased the strength of the PBXs. However, the strength increased with the decreasing particle size of the agglomerated TATB. When TATB-crystal was replaced by agglomerated TATB in the cast PBXs, a significant drop in the initial modulus and stress were observed. Samples with a higher content of agglomerated TATB were less sensitive to impact stimuli. The desired mechanical and sensitivity characteristics may be achieved for TATB-based cast PBXs by introducing agglomerated TATB.

This article gives a comprehensive study of the detonation reaction-zone (DRZ) and energy release characteristics of a cast HMX-based polymer-bonded explosive, PBX-91C, which has been demonstrated in our previous study to be an insensitive explosive. The DRZ of PBX-91C was studied by the impedance window method; the detonation reaction time, DRZ length, and detonation pressure were obtained. The cylinder test was employed to evaluate the acceleration ability of PBX-91C, the Gurney velocity and the parameters of the Jones-Wilkins-Lee (JWL) equation of state (EOS) for PBX-91C. The shock overpressure test was carried out to evaluate the energy release characteristics of PBX-91C in free-field; TNT was also tested for comparison. On the basis of the parameters of the JWL EOS determined by the cylinder test, three-dimensional numerical simulations of the shock overpressure tests were conducted. The results showed that PBX-91C is substantially more powerful than TNT; moreover, the energy release of PBX-91C is more rapid. All of these results suggest that the detonation performance of PBX-91C is close to that of RDX. PBX-91C can be a good candidate for main charges as it has both high energy and low sensitivity.
