The low-cost micrometer-sized PTFE and Al particles were used as starting materials. Under high-power ultrasonic waves, the PTFE powder was dispersed into nano-to sub-micrometer-sized particles and then encapsulated the Al microparticles to form the core-shell structure. The heat of combustion, burning rate, and pressurization rate of the powdered CS-PA were measured. The thermal-initiated reaction behavior was further evaluated using thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry. Subsequently, the bulk CS-PA with a uniform microstructure was obtained via cold isostatic pressing of the powdered CS-PA followed by vacuum sintering. For the bulk CS-PA, the quasi-static compression behavior was characterized, and the impact-initiated reaction processes were conducted using the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) and evaluated by a high-speed camera. Compared to physically mixed PTFE/Al materials, the powdered and bulk CS-PA demonstrated enhanced thermal- and impact-initiated reaction characteristics respectively, proving the effectiveness of our approach for constructing core-shell structures.展开更多

By comparing the computed energies and experimental results, we find that the B3P86/6-311G＊＊ method can give good results of BDE, which has the mean absolute deviation of 1.30kcal/mol. In addition, substituent effects were also taken into account. It is noted that the Hammett constants of substituent groups are related to the BDEs of the N-NO2 bond and the bond dissociation energies of the energetic materials studied decrease when increasing the number of NO2 group.展开更多

文摘In this study,based on a closed bomb test combined with computational fluid dynamics,a structural finite element method,and an acoustic boundary element method,a fluid-solid acoustic one-way coupling calculation model is established for the combustion process of energetic materials in a closed bomb,and the effectiveness of the model is verified by experiments.It is found that the maximum peak sound pressure increases exponentially with an increase in loading doses or gas pressure.However,a change in the combustion coefficient of the energetic materials has little effect on the noise generated during the combustion process in the closed bomb.When the combustion coefficient is reduced by a multiple of 16,the maximum transient sound pressure is reduced by 1.79 dB,and the sound pressure level in the frequency band is reduced by 1.75 dB.With an increase in shell thickness,the combustion noise of the energetic materials in the closed bomb decreases,and the reduction range of the combustion noise increases with the increase in shell thickness.
文摘The dielectric constant(DC)is one of the key properties for detection of threat materials such as Improvised Explosive Devices(IEDs).In the present paper,the density functional theory(DFT)as well as ab-initio approaches are used to explore effective methods to predict dielectric constants of a series of 12 energetic materials(EMs)for which experimental data needed to experimentally determine the dielectric constant(refractive indices)are available.These include military grades energetic materials,nitro and peroxide compounds,and the widely used nitroglycerin.Ab-initio and DFT calculations are conducted.In order to calculate dielectric constant values of materials,potential DFT functional combined with basis sets are considered for testing.Accuracy of the calculations are compared to experimental data listed in the scientific literature,and time required for calculations are both evaluated and discussed.The best functional/basis set combinations among those tested are CAM-B3LYP and AUG-ccpVDZm,which provide great results,with accuracy deviations below 5%when calculated results are compared to experimental data.

文摘A facile and economical approach was developed for the large-scale production of powdered core-shell structured PTFE/Al (CS-PA) energetic materials through ultrasonic-assisted mixing. The low-cost micrometer-sized PTFE and Al particles were used as starting materials. Under high-power ultrasonic waves, the PTFE powder was dispersed into nano-to sub-micrometer-sized particles and then encapsulated the Al microparticles to form the core-shell structure. The heat of combustion, burning rate, and pressurization rate of the powdered CS-PA were measured. The thermal-initiated reaction behavior was further evaluated using thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry. Subsequently, the bulk CS-PA with a uniform microstructure was obtained via cold isostatic pressing of the powdered CS-PA followed by vacuum sintering. For the bulk CS-PA, the quasi-static compression behavior was characterized, and the impact-initiated reaction processes were conducted using the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) and evaluated by a high-speed camera. Compared to physically mixed PTFE/Al materials, the powdered and bulk CS-PA demonstrated enhanced thermal- and impact-initiated reaction characteristics respectively, proving the effectiveness of our approach for constructing core-shell structures.

文摘The N-NO2 bond dissociation energies （BDEs） for 7 energetic materials were computed by means of accurate density functional theory （B3LYP, B3PW91 and B3P86） with 6-31G＊＊ and 6-311G＊＊ basis sets. By comparing the computed energies and experimental results, we find that the B3P86/6-311G＊＊ method can give good results of BDE, which has the mean absolute deviation of 1.30kcal/mol. In addition, substituent effects were also taken into account. It is noted that the Hammett constants of substituent groups are related to the BDEs of the N-NO2 bond and the bond dissociation energies of the energetic materials studied decrease when increasing the number of NO2 group.

文摘Critical temperature（Tb） of thermal explosion for energetic materials is estimated from Semenov＇s thermal explosion theory and the non-isothermal kinetic equation da/dt=Aoexp（bT）[1＋（T-T0）b][（a） deduced via reasonable hypotheses, where To is the initial point of the deviation from the baseline of DSC curve. The final formula is （Tb-Te0）{ 1＋1/[1＋（ Tb-T00）b]}=1. We can easily obtain the initial temperature（T0/） and onset temperature（Tci） from the non-isothermal DSC curves, the values of Too and Tc0 from the equation TOi or ei=T00 or c0＋α1βi＋a2βi^2＋…＋aL-2L-2βiL-2, i=1,2,…L, the value of b from the equation： In[β/（Tei-T0i）]=ln[A0/G（a）]＋bTei, so as to calculate the value of Tb. The result obtained with this method coincides completely with the value of Tb obtained by Hu-Yang-Liang-Wu method.

文摘Pressure produces closely packed,high-density materials,thereby providing a promising strategy to obtain high-energy-density materials.However,new phases or structures of energetic materials at high pressure are often not quenchable under ambient conditions.In this work,high-pressure topochemical methodology is first introduced for the preparation of stable energetic materials under ambient conditions.A pressure-induced polymerizable energetic material named PIP-1 is designed and prepared.The experimental measurements demonstrate that the polymerization of PIP-1 is caused by the breakage of C≡C bonds and the generation of C=C bonds.In accord with the experimental results,density functional theory calculations further revealed that the monomer PIP-1 is polymerized to generate 1D PIP-1 tape,and the density of polymerized PIP-1 is increased by 4.9%upon decompression.The successful realization of high-energy-density structure using high pressure showcases a new design strategy for advanced polymerizable energetic materials.
