摘要:
An explosive device is described herein, wherein the explosive device includes a substrate that has a surface, wherein surface energy of a portion of the surface of the substrate has been modified in a vacuum chamber from a first surface energy to a second surface energy. The explosive device additionally includes explosive material that has been deposited on the surface of the substrate in the vacuum chamber by way of physical vapor deposition (PVD), wherein the explosive material is deposited on the portion of the surface of the substrate subsequent to the surface energy of the portion of the surface of the substrate being modified from the first surface energy to the second surface energy.
摘要:
A process, apparatus, and composition are disclosed for forming a molded foamed polyurethane explosive block with pentaerythritol tetranitrate in a manner in which the generation of excessive exothermic heat is inhibited during the reaction to form the foamed polyurethane. In one aspect of the invention, the exothermic heat generation is controlled by the use of non-reactive filler materials. In a preferred embodiment, a monoammonium phosphate filler is used to further impart fire retardant properties to the resultant molded foam explosive block. In another aspect of the invention, the reactants are introduced into a mixing chamber by remote control, wherein the mold itself forms a bottom wall of the mixing chamber, and the remainder of the mixing chamber is portable and is removed from the mold, after the reactants used to form the foamed polyurethane and the pentaerythritol tetranitrate explosive have been mixed together, to thereby eliminate the need to transfer the mixture from a mixing chamber into a mold while the thermosetting reactants are reacting to form the foamed polyurethane.

摘要:
Explosive compositions utilizing binders which are soluble in water or wh hydrolyze under dilute acidic or basic conditions to yield non-toxic products are disclosed. The use of such binders permits one to readily remove the compositions from obsolete warheads or the like. The explosive filler can be reclaimed.
