Detonation calorimetry is a method for the determination of the heat released by the detonation of an explosive charge. Compared to classical combustion calorimetry, detonation calorimetry requires an inert atmosphere, a large sample mass and a detonator for its initiation. This detonator releases some energy for which the results must be corrected. Four types of detonator have been tested in the calorimeter alone and also in combination with explosive charges of PETN. It was found that the aluminium shell of the detonator considerably increases the apparent heat of detonation of the PETN samples in a vacuum, while the presence of combustible (polymeric) components has the opposite effect. Pressurization of the calorimetric vessel with nitrogen gas only partially suppresses these effects. The preferred technique is to use copper or glass confinement in a high pressure inert atmosphere.

Nitramines of high quality for manufacturing high-energy composites, such as oсtogen (HMX) and hexogen, have received much attention by researchers worldwide. Mixed formulations containing fillers in the form of spheroidal dispersed particles of explosives are homogenized at lower energy consumption. They are characterized by stable rheological characteristics, which guarantee the quality of the products obtained on the basis thereof. Methods for obtaining spherical nitramine particles by means of ultrasonic and hydromechanical rounding using commercial HMX were evaluated. It was found that under similar conditions, rounding by the hydromechanical process in a vortex device is more efficient and less energy-consuming than that of the ultrasonic method. It was confirmed that spheroidization of commercial HMX in an aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) medium by hydromechanical rounding occurs due to erosion of crystals of large size (70 μm or more). Based on the experimental results with spheroidization of commercial nitramine, the mass fraction content below 50 μm versus time was plotted for hydromechanical rounding. The method of hydromechanical rounding in aqueous DMSO to obtain spheroidized HMX, extracted from solid propellant using DMSO, was found to be the most suitable. Spheroidized modified HMX with specific characteristics (density and crystals of near-spherical shape) was obtained, which could be used for the manufacture of high-energy composites.

: Propulsion designers all over the world are exploring the possibility of achieving higher performance by enhancing the energy of solid propellants. This can be achieved by replacing non-energetic ingredients with energetic ones or by replacing low density ingredients, particularly binders, with higher density ones, without affecting the processibility and ageing characteristics. The same has been attempted by using nitroglycerine (NG) and butanetriol trinitrate (BTTN) as plasticizers in propellant compositions. In the present study, NG and BTTN have been used in different plasticizer to polymer ratios (Pl/Po) and various parameters of each composition have been theoretically predicted. Three propellant compositions plasticized with NG, BTTN and a 1:1 combination of NG and BTTN, have been processed and analyzed for targeted properties. From the theoretical data, it was observed that there is a negligible increase in density impulse beyond a Pl/Po of apart from the higher density and calorimetric values of the NG-plasticized propellant; these plasticizers have a significant effect on the ballistic and mechanical properties. Another observation was that the elongation of BTTN and NG/BTTN (1:1) plasticized propellants is significantly higher at a low crosshead rate than NG-plasticized propellant, implying that the two former propellants have higher strain capabilities at low temperatures and can be used for missiles having long term low temperature storage requirements. Thermal decomposition studies have been carried out by DSC, and for each composition 5 distinct peaks were observed.
