Abstract
FTIR technologies. The low eutectic characteristics of BOM and DNTF were also investigated carefully and the best ratio of BOM/DNTF was 40/60 with a melting point at 75.5 °C. Finally, the detonation performances of TNT/HMX, BOM/HMX and BOM/DNTF(40/60)/HMX explosive formulations were calculated, showing that the detonation performances of the latter two formulations were significantly higher than that of TNT/HMX.
