Small-Scale Safety and Performance Characterization Of New Plastic Bonded Explosives Containing LLM-105
Small-Scale Safety and Performance Characterization of New Plastic Bonded Explosives Containing LLM-105 contains precise information on the subject with well illustrated graphs, diagrams and tables.
LLM-105 (2,6-diamino-3,5-dinitropyrazine-1-oxide) is a new molecule with performance and insensitivity between HMX and TATB. Its calculated energy content is about 85% that of HMX and 20% more than that of TATB. It is very thermally stable and fairly insensitive to shock, spark and friction.
The LLM-105 particle morphology and chemical purity are dependent on its synthetic and processing history. Collaborative synthetic and chemical processing efforts have yielded several materials with a range of particle sizes and morphologies. Pure LLM-105 and plastic bonded composites have been found to possess a range of safety and processing characteristics.
An LLM-105-based plastic bonded explosive can facilitate processing (i.e., handling and pressing) and provide more mechanically robust pressed boosters (as compared to UF-TATB boosters without binder). Pressing tests have demonstrated higher pressed densities in formulations with binder.
LLM-105 is a promising high-performance insensitive high explosive. Several LLM-105 formulations developed as booster materials show higher energy, superior divergence characteristics and better mechanical strength.
