Rapid Synthesis of Monodispersed TATB Microparticles in Ionic Liquid Micelles
Abstract
Controlling microscopic morphology of energetic materials is of significant interest for the improvement of their performance and production consistency. As an important insensitive high explosive material, triaminotrinitrobenzene (TATB) has attracted tremendous research effort for military grade explosives and propellants. Here, in this study, a new, rapid and inexpensive synthesis method for monodispersed TATB microparticles based on micelle-confined precipitation was developed. Surfactant with proper hydrophilic-lipophilic balance value was found to be critical to the success of this synthesis. Lasltyl, the morphology of the TATB microparticles can be tuned between quasi-spherical and faceted by controlling the speed of recrystallization.
