3 results about "Polymer-bonded explosive" patented technology

A polymer-bonded explosive, also called PBX or plastic-bonded explosive, is an explosive material in which explosive powder is bound together in a matrix using small quantities (typically 5–10% by weight) of a synthetic polymer. PBXs are normally used for explosive materials that are not easily melted into a casting, or are otherwise difficult to form. PBX was first developed in 1952 in Los Alamos National Laboratory, as RDX embedded in polystyrene with dioctyl phthalate plasticizer. HMX compositions with teflon-based binders were developed in 1960s and 1970s for gun shells and for Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) seismic experiments, although the latter experiments are usually cited as using hexanitrostilbene (HNS).

Preparation method of graphene carbon nanotube synergistically reinforced polymer bonded explosive

This invention discloses a method for preparing a polymer-bonded explosive with synergistic enhancement of graphene and carbon nanotubes, aiming to solve the problem of poor thermal conductivity of existing PBX. By using carbon nanotubes as thermally conductive fillers and forming a multi-level structure through a water suspension method and a slurry method composite process, the prepared composite material has a high thermal conductivity.

Explosives using thermally expandable microspheres in a solid matrix

Explosives using thermally expandable microspheres (TEMs) in a solid matrix are disclosed that facilitate tunable changes in local density, porosity, and ultimately, shock sensitivity. Solid high explosive systems with “on demandshock sensitivity may be created. A relatively small fraction (e.g., 1% or less) of TEMs may incorporated during the manufacturing process of the solid matrix explosive (e.g., polymer-bonded explosives (PBX), trinitrotoluene (TNT), etc.). The fraction of TEMs used to achieve the desired explosive properties will depend on the base explosive material to achieve the desired initiation sensitivity.
