Abstract
In order to develop a scale-up and continuous preparation method, the microchannel crystallization technology based on solvent/non-solvent method has been used to prepare hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane/octogen (CL-20/HMX) co-crystal. The field emission scanning electron microanalyzer (FE-SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermal analysis and sensitivity test were applied to characterize and analyze the morphology, structure, thermal performance and sensitivity of samples. Results show that this method has successfully prepared CL-20/HMX co-crystal. Its apparent morphology is the flower clusters with a diameter of 20-30 μm, assembled by platelet crystals with thickness of 200-600 nm, accompanying individual flaky crystals (thickness of 200-600 nm). The CL-20/HMX co-crystal prepared by microchannal crystallization has only one sharp exothermic decomposition peak during the exothermic process. Its exothermic peak temperature is at 243.4â, which is lower than that of the raw materials CL-20 (250.2â) and HMX (284.7â). Its temperature range of thermal decomposition is only from 242.7 to 246.0â, much narrower than those of raw CL-20 (230.0-254.6â) and HMX (281.0-290.7â), which means a higher energy release efficiency. Its apparent active energy is 470.75 kJâ¢mol-1, falling between CL-20 (175.04 kJâ¢mol-1) and HMX (481.45 kJâ¢mol-1), which is 297.29 kJâ¢mol-1 hagher than that of raw CL-20, indicating a good thermal stability. Its impact sensitivity is 18 J, which is 8 J and 3.6 J higher than those of raw CL-20 (10 J) and HMX (14.4 J) respectively, and the friction sensitivity is 20% lower than that of raw CL-20. The sensitivity results show the safety of the CL-20/HMX co-crystal has been improved compared with the raw materials. © 2021, Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Energetic Materials.
