We apply Differential Scanning Calorimetry, DSC, to measure the kinetics of the {beta} {yields} {delta} solid-solid phase transition of Octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocinet HMX. Integration of the DSC signal gives a direct measurement of degree of conversion. We apply 1st order kinetics, the Ozawa method, and isoconversional analysis to show that the phase transition is not a simple one-step reaction, but instead is a complex combination of steps. The range of activation energies found in this work, centering around 500 kJ/mol, is higher than previously reported values. We discuss possible reasons for the higher activation energies measured here.
