Luminescent micelles are extensively studied molecular scaffolds used in applied supramolecular chemistry. These particularly important due to their uniquely organized structure and chemically responsive physical optical features. Various luminescent tags can be incorporated with these amphiphilic create efficient probes that utilized as “chemical noses” (sensors) for toxic hazardous materials,...

high priority at military facilities where site management costs can be very high. A novel approach to control plume migration utilizes electrolytic permeable reactive barriers to degrade these chemical in situ. This research focuses on characterizing the relationship between electrode surface morphology and composition with the rate of electrochemical reduction for mixtures of cyclic nitramine...

Nitroaromatic and cyclic nitramine compounds are frequently encountered as energetic residues in live-fire military training ranges. Careful assessment on the redox fate of current and emerging explosives will allow accurate assessment of potential site risks and remediation strategies to protect the warfighter. This study employed the naturally-occurring reductant ferrous iron to investigate t...

Decomposition of dimethylnitramine (DMNA, (CH(3))(2)NNO(2)) has been studied extensively over the past decades. Although several different mechanisms have been proposed for the initial decomposition of DMNA, the dominant decomposition channel is still far from fully understood. In this report, we collect all the results reported in the literature, along with our new experimental and theoretical...

A model including detailed gas phase chemistry previously applied to nitrate ester and nitramine solid propellants and their major ingredients has been successfully applied to the pure energetic ingredient nitroguanidine and to M30, a triple base propellant which contains nitroguanidine. This is the first modeling of either based on a detailed gas phase mechanism. Computed burning rates are in ...

the behavior of nanoscale energetic materials is quite different from micronsized energetic materials inmany ways. recently, some techniques such as sol-gel method, high speed air impaction and vacuum codeposition have been employed to obtain nanoscale energetic materials. however, only few attentionswere paid to nanoscale energetic materials because of the fabrication difficulty. in this paper...

Abstract In order to reveal the interaction law of high active aluminum powder with RDX and HMX mixture, thermal decomposition behavior highly Al its typical nitramine explosive were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TG), thermo-mass spectrometry (TG-DTG-DSC-MS) CO 2 laser ignition technology. Results show that when nanometer respectively, two mixing action i...
