Prediction of thermal properties for energetic materials using isothermal analysis

摘要

Thermal properties are most important characters in the field of energetic materials. Many tools and methods are developed for analysis and evaluation of energetic materials. Differential Scanning Calorimetry(DSC) is a typical method for thermal analysis not only for common chemicals but also energetic materials. Because energetic materials generally release certain amount of heat when they are decomposed, DSC is used frequently to evaluate thermal properties of energetic materials. In the DSC measurements, sometimes thermodynamic change such as melting interfere kinetic evaluation of materials. So isothermal method is often performed to avoid thermodynamic issues. In this research, we used AKTS thermokinetic program to predict thermal properties. Here in, we report prediction of properties for energetic materials using AKTS program through isothermal DSC measurements.
