Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Thermal analysis of pure RDX and its plastic bonded explosive (PBX) with hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) has been undertaken using TG-DTG and DTA techniques. Isothermal TG has been done and the data therefrom has been used to evaluate kinetic parameters using model fitting method and a model-free isoconversional method. Results of the work done are discussed briefly on a comparative basis by analysing the departure of the thermal behaviour of the PBX from that of RDX.
