Abstract
In this paper, the thermal decomposition of cyclotrimethylenetri-nitramine (RDX)-base propellants involving many components has been investigated by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The decomposition characters at different heating rates and the activation energies are determined by DSC measurement. The results show that the decomposition of RDX is accelerated obviously during the decomposition of nitroglycerin (NG). Though the content of dibutyl-benzene-dicarbonate (DBP) ingredient in the propellants is less, it has a remarkable effect on the initial decomposition temperature of the propellants. The azido-nitromine compound (DIANP) brings about the shift of the peak of decomposition of RDX and nitrocellulose (NC) to lower temperature due to its liquefying or dissolving.
