A interesting write up. TACN seems very tame and stable compared to other substances.

You may wish to bring up posting history of member Laboratory of Liptakov and scan the titles of threads he has been active in over the last several
years- There is a whole lot about Copper, amine, hexamine, nitrate, perchlorate...

Thank you for the information. If that link has been posted elsewhere in the forum feel free to remove the thread. I checked before posting but I
could be wrong.

This is WWII era, possibly some of largely newly trained ordnance department people (the ones Tenney Davis wrote his book for?) re-learning what pyrotechnists had known for some time about contact between Cu and either ammonia or
chemicals readily converted to NH3 and various oxidizers.
It may not be the origin of the idea, but we re-invent the wheel a lot in this business. This is interesting and I have not seen it before, it is
likely a foundation document as far as the ordnance/military HE people in USA and copper amines are concerned.
The tables at the end of impact sensitivity are interesting.

A latest results from shows, that best density for TACN is 1,25g/cc. Against it, any plastification, even active plasticizer are failed. And even at
described densite or even less. LL.
