TLDR
In this paper, the catalytic effect of lead oxide nano-and microparticles (PbO) on the thermal behavior and decomposition kinetics of energetic formulations composed of nitrocellulose (NC), triethyleneglycol dinitrate (TEGDN) and diaminoglyoxime (DAG) was investigated by simultaneous thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry.
Abstract
The catalytic effect of lead oxide nano- and microparticles (PbO) on the thermal behavior and decomposition kinetics of energetic formulations composed of nitrocellulose (NC), triethyleneglycol dinitrate (TEGDN) and diaminoglyoxime (DAG) was investigated by simultaneous thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The results show that lead oxide nano- and microparticles could significantly alter thermal pattern of the studied energetic compositions. The effect of lead oxide content on thermal behavior of energetic compositions was also studied, and the results revealed that addition of different amounts of lead oxide caused to shift in the DSC peaks. Moreover, the catalyst decreases activation energy of the decomposition stage of energetic composition at about 20–40 kJ mol−1. However, the catalyst enhances decomposition temperature of TEGDN/NC/DAG energetic compositions. By the aid of DSC data resulted by non-isothermal methods, the thermokinetic parameters such as activation energy (E a), frequency factor (A), the critical ignition temperature of thermal explosion, the self-accelerating decomposition temperature (T SADT) and also thermodynamic parameters of the studied energetic compositions were calculated and compared.
