“…This is a crucial factor that determines the safety and affects the manufacture, transportation, application and storage of these materials. [1][2][3][4]12 A high priority in designing and evaluating proposed new energetic compounds is to minimizing sensitivity. Therefore, it is very useful to find a way to predict the factors affecting sensitivity in order to quickly explore new generations of EMs.…”

“…This is a commonly studied thermite system [7][8][9][10] and has even found applications as a primer replacing lead styphnate. [11][12][13][14] Because this study expands on the blade casting method presented by Meeks et al 6 it is constructive to compare the base thermites used in both studies. Table I compares heat of combustion (∆H c ), gas generation (g) and adiabatic flame temperature (T a f ) for both the Mg + MnO 2 and Al + MoO 3 stoichiometric reactions.…”

Film energetics are becoming increasingly popular because a variety of technologies are driving a need for localized energy generation in a stable, safe and flexible form. Aluminum (Al) and molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) composites were mixed into a silicon binder and extruded using a blade casting technique to form flexible free-standing films ideal for localized energy generation. Since this material can be extruded onto a surface it is well suited to additive manufacturing applications. This study examines the influence of 0-35% by mass potassium perchlorate (KClO4) additive on the combustion behavior of these energetic films. Without KClO4 the film exhibits thermal instabilities that produce unsteady energy propagation upon reaction. All films were cast at a thickness of 1 mm with constant volume percent solids to ensure consistent rheological properties. The films were ignited and flame propagation was measured. The results show that as the mass percent KClO4 increased, the flame speed increased and peaked at 0.43 cm/s and 30 wt% KClO4. Thermochemical equilibrium simulations show that the heat of combustion increases with increasing KClO4 concentration up to a maximum at 20 wt% when the heat of combustion plateaus, indicating that the increased chemical energy liberated by the additional KClO4 promotes stable energy propagation. Differential scanning calorimeter and thermogravimetric analysis show that the silicone binder participates as a fuel and reacts with KClO4 adding energy to the reaction and promoting propagation.

“…Current industrial, military and scientific applications require effective high-energy density materials (HEDM), which satisfy the tight criteria of environmental safety and possess high detonation performance [1][2][3]. Research and development of a new HEDM undergoes scientists of a potential risk of injuries; therefore, a comprehensive safety program for research laboratories was recently proposed [4].…”

In the present paper we report recommendations for safe handling with unknown explosive materials and compositions. These are based on quantum‐chemical evaluations of the detonation and ballistic profiles of newly synthesized explosives and their comparison with the known reference compounds. The proposed methodology is rather simple, fast and does not require special skills. Meanwhile, it allows an effective quenching of the potential risk associated with injuries caused by accidental explosions. Additionally, we have developed two utilities, which significantly simplify the calculation process. The proposed algorithm was found to be more successful in estimation of detonation velocity of several common explosives in comparison with commercially available software EMDB, EXPLO5 and Cheetah 8.0. The reported results will be useful for scientific personnel working in the field of development and testing of explosives.
