摘要

Energetic co-particles have been proven effective in balancing high-energy and safety performance, which might be used as insensitive oxidizers in solid propellants. In this work, the high temperature interactions between several co-particles and aluminum (Al) powders in the presence of ammonium perchlorate (AP) have been studied. The co-particles are based on octogen (HMX) and hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20), with balanced energy content and safety performance. They are used to combine with Al and AP to form either binary or ternary systems. Their energy release rate during decomposition and combustion have been fully evaluated. Due to the intimate contact between components in co-particles, the binary/ternary systems exhibit superior reaction efficiency compared to relevant mechanical mixtures with the same formulations. These novel energetic systems have maximum two times higher pressurization rate, 10% higher heat of explosion, 53.8% higher flame propagation rate, and much shorter ignition delay than the corresponding normal mixtures. For both HMX- and CL-20-based co-particle systems, the median size of condensed combustion products (CCPs) is smaller than those of the mechanical mixtures, with higher content of Al2O3. This indicates that co-particles have advantages in improving combustion efficiency of Al particles by eliminating their agglomeration.
