Isocyanate-Free and Dual Curing of Smokeless Composite Rocket Propellants
(2013)
Traditional composite rocket propellants are cured by treatment of hydroxyl-terminated prepolymers with polyfunctional aliphatic isocyanates. For development of smokeless composite propellants containing nitramines and/or ...
Study of thermal instability of HMX crystalline polymorphs with and without molecular vacancies using reactive force field molecular dynamics
(2016)
The sensitivity of energetic materials can be identified by heat, friction, impact, shock, electrostatic charge, etc. A complexity of various factors may influence the sensitivity and among them are the crystal structure ...
A computational study of density of some high energy molecules
(2016)
The detonation pressure depends quadratically on the loading density of the explosives. A precise estimate of the density is thus crucial to decide if a novel energetic material is worth pursuing. In this work we investigate ...
A Critical Investigation of Proposed Electrostatic Corrections to Quantum Mechanical Volumes: The Importance of Variation and the Irrelevance of Imbalance
(2016)
The crystal density of neutral and ionic molecular crystals is remarkably well approximated by the enclosed volume of molecular surfaces, where these surfaces are defined as regions of constant and small electron density. ...
Smokeless GAP-RDX Composite Rocket Propellants Containing Diaminodinitroethylene (FOX-7)
(2017)
Composite rocket propellants prepared from nitramine fillers (RDX or HMX), glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) binder and energetic plasticizers are potential substitutes for smokeless double-base propellants in some rocket motors. ...
Synthesis and characterization of Al@MOF materials
(2019)
The potential impregnation of Al(0) nanoparticles in the pores of three different metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), MIL-53-Al, HKUST-1, and UiO-67, was investigated through the
suspension of the MOFs in AlH3•NMe2Et (1), ...
