In the rapid micromixing stage, the microfluidic mixing technology with ultrasonic was used to synergistically strengthen the uniform and rapid mass transfer mixing reaction between raw materials to ensure the uniformity of DAAF particle nucleation-growth, and to prepare high-quality DAAF crystals with uniform structure and morphology and concentrated particle size distribution. In the microdroplet globular template stage, the microfluidic droplet technology was used to form a droplet globular template with uniform size under the shear action of the continuous phase of the dispersed phase solution containing DAAF particles and binder. The size of the droplet template was controlled by adjusting the flow rate ratio between the continuous phase and the dispersed phase. In the droplet globular template, with the diffusion of the solvent in the dispersed phase droplets, the binder precipitates to coat the DAAF into a ball, forming a DAAF microsphere with high sphericity, narrow particle size distribution and good monodispersity. The problem of discontinuity and DAAF particle suspension in the process was solved, and the coating theory under this process was studied. DAAF was coated with different binder formulations of fluororubber(F2604), nitrocellulose(NC) and NC/glycidyl azide polymer(GAP), and the process verification and evaluation of the system were carried out. The balling effects of large, medium and small droplet templates under different binder formulations were studied. The scanning electron microscope(SEM) results show that the three droplet templates under the three binder formulations exhibit good balling effect and narrow particle size distribution. The DAAF microspheres were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction(XRD), differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), thermo-gravimetric(TG) and sensitivity analyzer. The results showed that the crystal structure of DAAF did not change during the process, and the prepared DAAF microspheres had lower decomposition temperature and lower mechanical sensitivity than raw DAAF. The results of detonation parameters show that the coating of DAAF by using the above three binder formulations will not greatly reduce the energy output of DAAF, and has comparable detonation performance to raw DAAF. This study proves an efficient and safe continuous system from synthesis to spherical coating modification of explosives, which provides a new way for the continuous, safe and efficient preparation of spherical explosives.展开更多

文摘Achieving performance optimization of aluminized explosives through structural regulation is of great significance for enhancing their practical application value.In this study,hexanitrostilbene/aluminum(HNS/Al)microspheres with interconnected multi-cavity structures were prepared using microjet droplet technology,and the effect of solvent ratio on microsphere morphology and multi-cavity formation was investigated.Furthermore,the impact of the multi-cavity structure on microsphere dispersibility,specific surface area,thermal properties,mechanical sensitivity,and combustion performance was examined.The results indicate that,compared to raw HNS,the multi-cavity HNS/Al microspheres exhibit improved dispersibility while retaining the crystal structure,chemical composition,and thermal stability of the raw material.In comparison to solid HNS/Al microspheres,the multi-cavity HNS/Al microspheres demonstrate a higher specific surface area(26.432 vs.30.987 m^(2) g^(-1))and improved safety performance(3.5 vs.15 J).Ignition test results reveal that the addition of aluminum powder significantly reduces the ignition delay of HNS(275 vs.5.0 ms)and inhibits carbon cluster formation during combustion,thereby enhancing the burning efficiency of HNS.Notably,microspheres with a multi-cavity structure exhibit superior combustion efficiency.This study provides a method for preparing multi-structured aluminized explosives.

文摘Improved controllability and energy density of ignition agents are of great significance for the devel-opment of energetic composite materials.In this study,droplet microfluidics and emulsification tech-niques were combined to prepare HNS/CL-20 composite microspheres with polyglycidyl azide polymer(GAP)as the binder.The influence of binder content on the morphology of microspheres was investi-gated,and the microspheres were characterized and tested for particle size,crystal structure,thermal decomposition,dispersibility,mechanical sensitivity,combustion behavior and detonation performance.The results showed that microspheres prepared with a binder content of 3%had higher sphericity and particle size uniformity.The microspheres retained the crystal structure of both HNS and CL-20(ε-type).Compared with raw HNS,the microspheres had higher apparent activation energy,better safety per-formance,and good dispersibility.The ignition experiments and detonation performance tests show that HNS/CL-20 composite microspheres have excellent ignition performance,obvious combustion flame,and significant energy release effects,which are expected to achieve high energy and high-speed response of the igniter,thus improving the ignition reliability in special environments or systems.
文摘In order to improve the dispersibility and loading efficiency of 2,2',4,4',6,6'-hexanitrostilbene(HNS),HNS microspheres were prepared by rapid membrane emulsification method with nitrocellulose(NC)as binder.The effects of NC solution concentration,stirring speed and polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)solution concentration on microspheres were investigated.It was characterized by scanning electron microscope(SEM),X-ray diffractometer(XRD),differential thermal analysis(DTA)and angle of repose analyzer.The results show that the HNS microspheres prepared with 5 wt%NC solution concentration,stirring speed of 100 rpm and 2 wt%PVA solution concentration have better regular morphology,higher sphericity,unchanged crystalline shape,increased activation energy and significantly improved dispersibility compared with the refined HNS.Rapid membrane emulsification has a series of advantages such as green,low cost and easy scale up,which provides a better way to prepare microspheres of energy materials.

文摘Boron nanoparticles,with their remarkably high gravimetric and volumetric calorific values,emerge as the most promising fuel in energetic fields.However,challenges such as susceptibility to oxidation,high ignition temperature,and low combustion efficiency have constrained their further applications.In this study,we fabricated high explosives based nano-boron microspheres with uniform size using the electrostatic spray method,in which the boron nanoparticles and high explosives(CL-20 or PETN)are closely bonded together by fluorinated polymer(F2602)and evenly distributed.The results indicated that the microspheres exhibited high sphericity and showed an enhanced antioxidant capability.The addition of high-energy explosives not only reduced the thermal oxidation temperature of nano-boron powder within the microspheres but also significantly enhanced the pressurization rate.Additionally,the microspheres with added high-energy explosives released more energy during the combustion process.Compared to physically mixed samples,electrostatically sprayed microspheres with a uniform microstructure still exhibited higher reactivity.Therefore,the design and synthesis of microspheres with controllable structures using the electrostatic spray method show promising application prospects.

文摘The strategic selection of appropriate preparation methods and binder strategies is crucial for enhancing the particle and combustion performance of pyrotechnic delay compositions(PDCs).This study,utilizing droplet microfluidics technology(DMT)and micron-scale raw materials,prepared spherical B/Pb_(3)O_(4) composite particles with varying concentrations of fluorine rubber(F_(2604)).The morphology,specific surface area,bulk density,flowability,friction sensitivity,thermal decomposition,and combustion performance of these microspheres were characterized.The results indicate that as the binder content increases,the particle size of the microspheres first decreases and then increases,the specific surface area decreases,and the bulk density increases,correlating with tighter binding of the reactant powders by the binder.Furthermore,tighter powder-to-powder binding results in a progressive decrease in the thermal decomposition peak temperature of the samples(from 404.2℃ to 346.4℃).Additionally,increased binder content reduces the friction sensitivity and combustion rate of the samples,which is attributed to the energy absorption properties of the binder.Compared to the control group,the microsphere samples exhibit significantly enhanced bulk density,flowability,friction safety,and combustion delay precision,potentially improving the reliability of PDCs in ignition sequences.
