Abstract

The kinetics of reversible phase transitions (PTs) in various polymorphs (α, β, γ, δ, and ɛ) of polycrystalline octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) is investigated by means of differential isothermal and scanning calorimetry. The rate of the β → δ PT is limited by the nucleation process occurring during the induction period. In a general case, the distribution density for the induction times is a superposition of continuous and discrete functions. The reverse δ → β PT obeys the first-order kinetic law. The effects of mechanical exposure on the kinetics and the PT products of the different polymorphs of HMX is investigated by FTIR spectroscopy.
