Title: Infrared properties of three plastic bonded explosive binders

Abstract

Here, three polymers are routinely used as binders for plastic bonded explosives by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, FK-800, Viton A 100, and Oxy 461. Attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared measurements were performed on 10 different lots of FK-800, 5 different lots of Oxy 461, and 3 different lots of Viton A-100, one sample of Viton VTR 5883 and 2 Fluorel polymers of hexafluoropropene and vinylidene fluoride. The characteristic IR bands were measured. If possible, their vibrational modes were assigned based on literature data. Simple Mopac calculations were used to validate these vibrational mode assignments. Somewhat more sophisticated calculations were run using Gaussian on the same structures.

Kinetics of thermal Degradation of Explosive Binders Viton A, Estane, and Kel-F

Journal Article Burnham, A K ; Weese, R K - Thermochimica Acta

The use of isoconversional, sometimes called model-free, kinetic analysis methods have recently gained favor in the thermal analysis community. Although these methods are very useful and instructive, the conclusion by some that model fitting is a poor approach is largely due to improper use of model fitting, such as fitting a single heating rate or multiple heating rates separately. The current paper shows the ability of model fitting to correlate reaction data over very wide time-temperature regimes for three polymers of interest for formulating high explosives: Estane 5703 P (poly [ester urethane] block copolymer), Viton A (vinylidene-hexafluoropropene copolymer), and Kel-Fmore »« less

Dynamic mechanical and molecular weight measurements on polymer bonded explosives from thermally accelerated aging tests. I. Fluoropolymer binders

Conference Hoffman, D M ; Caley, L E

The dynamic mechanical properties and molecular weight distribution of two polymer bonded explosives, LX-10-1 and PBX-9502, maintained at 23, 60, and 74/sup 0/C for 3 years were studied. LX-10-1 is 94.5% 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetraazacyclooctane explosive bonded together with 5.5% Viton A fluoropolymer. PBX-9502 is 95% triaminotrinitrobenzene explosive bonded with 5% Kel-F-800 fluoropolymer. There are two mechanical relaxations in the LX-10-1 in the military temperature range. The relaxation at -10/sup 0/C is associated with the glass transition temperature of the Viton A binder. A second weak relaxation occurs at about 30/sup 0/C in all LX-10-1 samples tested. This relaxation is probably associated withmore »« less

Formulation and Mechanical Properties of LLM-105 PBXs

Conference Hoffman, D M ; Lorenz, K T ; Cunningham, B ; ...

Eight different polymer binders were formulated with bimodal distributions of 2,6-diamino-3,5-dinitropyrazine-1-oxide (LLM-105) in 5/95 weight ratio of polymer to explosive at the 25 gram level. The polymers evaluated included: Kel-F 800, Viton A, Oxy 461, Cytop A, Hyflon AD 60, Hytemp 5545, Technoflon PFR 91 and Technoflon P 459. LLM-105 had an average particle size of 35.6 {+-} 0.6 {micro}m. This material was ground in a ball mill for 24 h to achieve a particle size of 0.72 {+-} 0.02 {micro}m. Small angle light scattering measurements were used to obtain particle size distributions on both ground and unground LLM-105. Opticalmore »« less

Formulation and Characterization of LX-17-2 from new FK 800 binder and WA, ATK, and BAE TATBs

Technical Report DePiero, S C ; Hoffman, D M

Currently LLNL has no Kel-F 800 or wet-aminated TATB reserves for formulation. Although both materials are soon to be commercially available, their synthesis processes have changed and the explosive must be re-evaluated. In 2000 3M phased out the uses of perfluorooctanoyl (C8) derivatives due to environmental persistence and bioaccumulation issues. A C8 derivative was used as an emulsifier for making Kel F-800. In 2001 Kel F-800 was scheduled to be discontinued and the last Kel F-800 run was made in early 2002. LANL ordered 2M$ worth of Kel-F 800 for reserves and Pantex purchased several hundred pounds to satisfy mockmore »« less

Effect of lot microstructure variations on detonation performance of the triaminotrinitrobenzene (TATB)-Based insensitive high explosive PBX 9502

Journal Article Voelkel, Stephen Joseph ; Anderson, Eric Karl ; Short, Mark ; ... - Combustion and Flame

PBX 9502 is an important insensitive high explosive due to its combination of safety properties and detonation performance. It is a polymer-bonded formulation consisting of 95 wt.% 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB) as the high explosive crystal, bound with Kel F-800 (FK-800), a co-polymer of chlorotrifluoroethylene and vinylidene-fluoride. Two different types are used, one known as virgin that uses only pristine manufactured TATB, and a second known as recycled that has 50 wt.% of its TATB reclaimed from machining scraps of previously pressed virgin PBX 9502. Recycled lots have a higher percentage of fine particles compared to virgin lots, due to the fracturingmore »« less
