The solubilities of HMX with particle size of 80 μm, 5 μm, 500 nm, 100 nm at different temperatures (5℃, 20℃, 40℃, 60℃) in different solvents were measured by evaporating the solvent in saturated solution. The reason of the solubility difference was discussed by similar dissolving principle and the thermal motion of molecules. The results show that the solubility of HMX in deionized water is almost zero, however it is larger in ethanol than that in trihydric and tetrahydric alcohol. With the increase of temperature, the solubility of HMX with the same particle size increases. Under the same temperature the solubility increases with the decrease of the particle size.
