Progress during July to October 1975 in research on chemical explosives is reported. Three batches of HNS containing various amounts of DPE and TNB were heated in DMF for seven hours at 100, 120 and 148/sup 0/C. Samples were withdrawn periodically and the relative percentages of the three constituents were determined by liquid chromatography. At 100 and 120/sup 0/C the relative percentage of HNS increased with time while the others diminished. At 148/sup 0/C the opposite was observed. An additional material which has not been identified was also observed in the chromatograms of the materials heated at 148/sup 0/C. (auth)
