Abstract

The thermal decomposition of new N-methoxy-polynitroanilines was studied using the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method. The characteristic melting parameters were measured and the activation parameters of the most probable kinetic models of thermal decomposition were determined using a multivariate non-linear regression method. All investigated compounds followed an autocatalytic decomposition mechanism. Depending on the number and position of substituents on the aromatic ring the thermal decomposition occurs in one, two or three steps.
