comprehensive characterization of explosive materials
I wonder whether anyone has a detailed literature that exploits and characterizes explosives in general, mainly from the kinetic and thermodynamic
point of view. That is, descriptions of some of the physical/chemical properties. Some explosives can be very powerful due to low stability and fast
kinetics but the overall energy released can be different because of different enthalpy change. Entropic effects can be considered for instance in
case of metal azides where not all products are in gas phase, decreasing the total amount of gas forming and decelerating the rate of expansion with
solid particles. I would like to see a quantitative comparison of as many known compounds as possible, even such as tetranitromethane and
hexanitrobenzene, which are among the most powerfull and hard to synthetize. By the way, has anyone tried to synthetize these? I think these require
NO2 atmosphere at high pressure and temperature for creation.
