Polymeric materials are used as binders to hold sohd particles together so as to formulate composite explosives or composite propellants. The polymeric materials also constitute part of the fuel ingredients when the crystalline particles are oxidizer-rich. Various types of hydrocarbon polymers are used as polymeric binders. [Pg.77]

COMPOSITION (Explosive) An intimate mixture of fuels, oxidisers and additives of such particle size that, when pressed, it is capable of producing pyrotechnic effects. [Pg.180]

The majority of Sprengel s fuels were energetic hydrocarbons. Chlorate-based composite explosives tend to be very sensitive to friction and shock. When mixed with energetic fuels, the chlorate formulations are even more sensitive. To address this problem, historically two paths were taken. The chlorate was either mixed with a nonenergetic hydrocarbon or the mixture was phlegmatized (lubricated) if an energetic fuel was desired. [Pg.46]

Probably the most rare combination is the mixture of AN prills with a solid fuel. To get a good reaction between a fuel and an oxidizer an intimate mixture is needed. This is why monomolecular explosives (with fuel and oxidizer on the same molecule) tend to have higher detonation velocities than composite explosives (where fuel and oxidizer are two separate components). This is also why grain dust explosions occur yet, a pile of wheat is not easy to light on fire. Mixing any solid fuel with prills of AN (which are inch in diameter) will obviously not produce a very good mixture of reactive components. [Pg.53]

The composite explosives are usually those consisting of powdered mixtures of an oxidizer and an organic fuel. Dynamites are composite expls contg some NG. The composite expls examined by Gordon consisted of AN-fuel or Ammonium Perchlorate-fuel and their properties were compared with those of TNT, RRX and pure Amm Perchlorate... [Pg.423]

The paper of Gordon describes a model for diffusion-controlled reaction based on the "hole concept in liquids of Jost (Ref 1, p 459). in which the activation energy for diffusion is equated simply to pV. The marked effect of density, therefore, results from the strong dependence of pressure on density (p varying about as the density cubed) and the appearance of this factor in an exponential term. On this basis, Gordon derived an approximate expression for dependence of detonation velocity D on explosive density pQ. This equation is given on pp 833 and 836 of Gordon s paper. From this expression the critical diameter dc for composite explosives is related to an exponential function of density by ... [Pg.424]

Gordon (Ref 8) attributes the effect of density to its strong influence on the detonation pressure. The log of the diffusion coefficient is approximately proportional to the inverse cube of the density. Thus, in composite explosives the reaction slows... [Pg.508]
