1 Truong, ThanhBranching ratio and pressure dependent rate constants of multichannel unimolecular decomposition of gas-phase ?-HMX: an ab initio dynamics studyThe dynamics of the initial thermal decomposition step of gas-phase ?-HMX is investigated using the master equation method. Both the NO2 fission and HONO elimination channels were considered. The structures, energies, and Hessian information along the minimum energy paths (MEP) of these two channels...Thermal decomposition; HMX2001
2 Wight, Charles AlbertCompetitive vaporization and decomposition of liquid RDXThe thermal decomposition of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) has been studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Activation energies as a function of the extent of conversion, ?, have been determined by model-free isoconversional analysis o...Liquid RDX; Competitive vaporization; Thermal decomposition; Differential scanning calorimetry2000
3 Wight, Charles AlbertKinetics of thermal decomposition of cubic ammonium perchlorateThe methods of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimettry (DSC) have been used to study the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP). TGA curves obtained under both isothermal and nonisothermal conditions show a characteristic slowdown at the extents of convers...Thermal decomposition; Cubic ammonium perchlorate; Differential scanning calorimetry1999
4 Wight, Charles AlbertThermal decomposition of a melt-castable high explosive: isoconversional analysis of TNAZThe thermal decomposition kinetics of the high explosive 1,3,3-trinitroazetidine (TNAZ) have been measured by nonisothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Samples of TNAZ in open pans and pierced pans undergo mainly melting (?Hfus = 27 ± 3 kJ mol-1) and vaporization (?Hvap = 74 ± 10 kJ m...Thermal decomposition; Melt-castable high explosive; TNAZ; Nonisothermal differential scanning calorimetry; Exothermic decomposition2002
