Highly energetic materials-hosted 3D inverse opal-like porous carbon: stabilization/desensitization of explosives.
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces 2018 November 27
The precise control of sensitivity to external stimuli, e.g., impact, friction, and thermal energy, has been emphasized for highly energetic materials, including RDX and HMX. Such sensitivities could be controlled by adjusting the surface area or (in)organic additives however, increased stability leads to a decrease in the explosives' performance. Here, high-energy-density molecules hosted in inverse opal-like porous carbon (IOC) nanocomposites demonstrate the mechanical stabilization and desensitization of RDX and HMX inside the carbon nanostructure using host-guest chemistry techniques. For this strategy, the uniform, vacant voids of the IOC were used to provide internal crystallization for the impact/frictional stabilization of explosives, and also to enhance the thermal reactivity by the high heat conductivity of IOC initiating detonation by thermally induced hotspot. The weight percentage of high explosives hosted by recrystallization at high temperatures and in vacuum reached ~70%. After high explosives were embedded inside the IOC, the impact, friction and electrostatic stability was greatly increased (2~2.15 fold, 1.86~1.92 fold and 1.25~2, respectively) compared with free RDX and HMX. Also, addition of PVP as a binder controlled the effectiveness and efficiency of the carbon template, enabling control of the impact and friction sensitivity from 14.72 J to >79.43 J and from 295.81 N to 352.80 N, respectively.
