DETONATION PARAMETERS OF RESORCINOL-FORMALDEHYDE/AMMONIUM CHLORATE(VII) NANOCOMPOSITES

摘要

Energetic nano-composites were prepared via polycondensation of resorcinol and formaldehyde in concentrated solution of ammonium chlorate(VII) in water. The obtained gels were rapidly frozen and next freeze-dried. The composite was cold-pressed into pellets of 20 g in mass and 25 mm in diameter. The detonation velocity was measured and a cylinder test was performed using charges consisted of the pellets. Results of the tests were used to determine the detonation and Gurney energy of the explosive.
