During production,
storage and manipulation of explosive materials it is important to
be able to evaluate potential risks when they come in contact with
each other or with other non explosives materials. For this reason
various analytical and instrumental methods are being developed and
implemented to study the chemical compatibility of explosives with
other materials. In this research a possibility has been examined of
application of thermal method-Differential Scanning Calorimetry
(DSC) and Vacuum Stability Test (VST) as methods to determine the
compatibility of often used explosive materials: Octogen (HMX),
Pentrite (PETN) and Ammonium Perchlorate (AP) with also often used
polymer materials: polyamide 12 (PA 12), Hydroxyl Terminated
Polybutadiene (HTPB), fluoroelastomer (Viton A). Standard STANAG
4147 was used as criteria to estimate the compatibility between the
observed materials.
Key words: energetic materials, explosives, polymers, compatibility,
differential scanning calorimetry, vacuum stability test.
