Abstract:
Open-ended Terms Compatibility. A number of commercially available thermosetting and thermoplastic resins were evaluated as bonding agents for 1,3-diamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene DATB - a new high temperature resistant explosive. The major emphasis was placed on thermoplastic binders. It was found that 5 binder was the minimum amount consistent with acceptable PBX physical properties and minimum dilution of explosive energy. Three, high temperature stable thermoplastic binders were selected as giving the best over- all PBX properties of all the polymers evaluated. These were a polycarbonate Lexan, polyvinylidene fluoride Kynar and polytetrafluoroethylene Teflon. Teflon had the best properties of the 3 and is recommended as a high temperature binder for DATB.
