CHEMICAL DECOMPOSITION OF TRIACETONE TRIPEROXIDE AND HEXAMETHYLENETRIPEROXIDEDIAMIDE

摘要

Triacetone triperoxide (TATP) and hexamethylenetriperoxidediamine (HMTD) are well known primary explosives often called improvised that are frequently prepared in improvised conditions. These organic peroxides are very often components of pyrotechnist's findings. This paper summarizes experimental results of chemical decompositions of these peroxides.
