Characterization of the Thermal Degradation of Selected Energetic Materials andMixtures by Rapid-Scan Fourier Transform Infrared (RSFTIR) Spectroscopy

摘要

The rapid thermal decomposition characteristics of alkylammonium nitrate salts inwhich the alkyl group is a hydrocarbon cage are described. Cubylammonium nitrate, cubane-1, 4-diammonium dinitrate, and penta undecane-4-exo-e-endo diammonium dinitrate were studied. Comparisons are made to the behavior of other alkylammonium nitrate salts upon fast thermolysis.
