Mass Spectrometric Investigation of the Thermal Decomposition of Several Propellant and Explosive Ingredients

摘要

Thermal decomposition kinetics, including an elucidation of the mechanisms, were determined for several energetic polymeric materials. These materials included poly(3-nitratomethyl-3-methyl) oxetane (p-NMMO), the copolymer, methyl nitramino methyl methy oxetane/azido methyl methyl oxetane (50/50 MNAMMO/AMMO), and the monomer 3,3 bis(methyl nitramino methyl) oxetane (BMNAMO). Experiments were performed on both stabilized and unstabilized dehydrofefo (DHF) to determine its decomposition and evaporation at 132 F. Keywords: Activation energies.
