Sensitivity of polymer-bonded explosives from molecular modeling data / David Brochu, Hakima Abou-Rachid, Armand Soldera, Josée Brisson.: D68-10/091-2018E-PDF

"Sensitive energetic materials are an issue for military and civilian applications. To prevent undesired explosions, sensitive energetic materials are embedded in a protective polymer, resulting in polymer-bonded explosives (PBX). The appropriate polymer will absorb part of the energy caused by stimuli such as shock, impact, friction and heat, thus decreasing sensitivity. To investigate how an appropriate polymer absorbs energy, three PBX models were simulated using molecular dynamics"--Abstract, page 1.
