“…The data collected from thermal characterization and its kinetics provide useful information in the form of prediction of safety features of the future formulations. The thermal degradation of HEMs has been studied by various researchers using thermal analytical techniques such as thermogravimetry (TG),21–23 differential scanning calorimeter (DSC),21 differential thermal analyzer (DTA) 21, 22. It is however observed that there are no systematic study published in the open literature linking the physical, thermal properties and kinetics of polymeric binders of specific interest for formulation of PBXs, propellants, and pyrotechnics.…”
