Symposium on Explosives and Pyrotechnics, 13th, Hilton Head Island, SC, Dec. 2-4, 1986, Proceedings

Conference · Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 EST 1987

OSTI ID:5549355

The present conference on explosive and pyrotechnic technologies discusses the shock-sensitivity of RDX, the thermodynamic properties of RDX, TNT, nitroglycerine, and HMX energetic molecules, the dynamic resistivity of exploding conductors, the decomposition of azides, the critical shock-initiation energy of emulsion explosives, actuator valve optimization, pyrotechnic aerosolization from novel imbibed liquid matrices, tetrazole initiators, and polymeric binders for red phosphorus pellets. Also discussed are channel-effect studies, the dynamic desensitization of coal mine explosives, the electromagnetic and electrostatic protection of explosives, the reliability of fuze explosive trains, the hazardous properties of explosive chemicals, the emulsification of an explosive with a chemical foaming agent, and low energy ignition of HMX using a foil bridge.
