Cocrystals of CL-20/nitramine decompose into components at the melting point. Subsequent evaporation of nitramine leaves CL-20 in the amorphous state. The lack of the crystal lattice results in an increased decomposition rate of CL-20.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
