Polymeric Coatings Effect on Surface Activity and Mechanical Behavior of High Explosives

“…While the anisotropicity of the insensitive HEs presents certain design problems, these materials represent the first real opportunity to assess the effect that the polymer has on the resultant mechanical and physical properties of the composite PBX. To date, a very small amount of work has been done to generate fundamental data germane to a better understanding of surface interactions between HE particles and polymer binders and how they influence PBX properties (Hammon and Althouse, 1976;Yee, 1978). Typically, a PBX composite may consist of from 80 to 97 vol % explosive, with the remainder being polymer.…”
