Orientation

Study of initiation reactivity of energetic materials

This activity starts from my dissertation thesis (the respective experimental work begun in 1970) whose defense (viva voce) was not permitted due to political reasons and could only be realized in 1990. The primary topic was thermal reactivity of polynitro and polynitroso compounds and subsequent study of chemical micro-mechanism of initiation of energetic materials (initiation reactivity of EMs).

The study of chemical mechanism of initiation of energetic materials (EMs) is significant from the standpoint of safety aspect of handling of EMs as well as from the standpoint of construction of new molecules and charges of EMs and, last but not least, it also represents a matter of scientific prestige of the respective working team. The atomic groups – bearers of explosiveness (the so-called explosofores – the most frequent one is nitro group) in a molecule are not mutually equivalent, i.e. in a given molecule, there is always one explosofore that is most reactive. In the case of nitro groups, the most often used way of looking for the most reactive group is based on DFT quantum-chemical calculations of isolated molecules at the temperature of 0 K (the calculation concerns electronic charges at the key nitrogen atoms). With regard to the fact that a very important factor in the initiation and development of explosive transformation of EMs is the intermolecular force interactions, this approximation method can only be used for simple molecules of EMs (e.g. nitramines). More realistic is the application of data obtained from crystallographic study of the given molecule of EMs to these calculations, which, however, in this case are much more complicated and time-consuming. Good results in this study are obtained from the

application of 13C a 15N NMR chemical shifts of key atoms in reaction centers of the molecule; on the basis of correlation of the mentioned shifts with the initiation characteristics (sensitivity and/or characteristics of detonation) in a series of structurally related EMs it is possible to find and/or confirm the reaction centre of the molecule and/or to specify the most reactive nitro group in the molecule.

Thanks to the mentioned activity in this area, it was possible in our institute (Institute of Energetic Materials, University of Pardubice) to find and explain the existence of mutual relationships between the characteristics of low-temperature thermal decomposition, sensitivity to shock, friction and electric spark on the one hand, and detonation characteristic of energetic material on the other hand; it was possible to predict some characteristics of nitramines not yet synthesized, to interpret the properties of a new nitramine, cis-1,3,4,6-tetranitrooctahydroimidazo-[4,5-d]imidazole; at present, with the use of these findings, research is being done on plastic-bound nitramines, emulsion explosives, and utilization of demilitarized explosives. We also studied the initiation reactivity of solid and liquid mixtures based on peroxides.

Development of emulsion explosives

On the basis of my 2-week study visit in the company Nitro Nobel in Gyttorp in 1990 and later request from Slovak manufacturer Istrochem Bratislava to develop an emulsion high explosive of the 1st safety category, I have dealt with this problem since 1997. The development was successfully finished, and the resulting product called Slavit E was patented (Slovak patent and a PCT application). With respect to the bankruptcy of Istrochem and its subsequent purchase by Explosia joint-stock company Pardubice, the payment of patent fees was stopped, and this explosive is produced (without paying the finance obligation to the patent holder and authors) under the name Emulinit PM in a Polish group Nitroerg Bieruń in the amount of ca 600 ton per year. The findings obtained from these activities were applied to dealing with the project TIP MPO ČR concerning reuse of demilitarized explosives – the activities are being continued although the project has already been finished.

Development of new nitramine explosives

This originally “starting” orientation of our research team (from 50s of the last century) was revived after 2005.

We developed and patented the synthesis of cis-1,3,4,6-tetranitro-octahydroimidazo-[4,5-d]imidazole (bicyclo-HMX or BCHMX), and in following years, its application possibilities were and have been studied, particularly in plastic-bonded energetic mixtures. In connection with this activity, enhanced attention was and has been devoted to ε-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane (ε-HNIW, ε-CL-20) from the standpoint of quality of its crystals and their morphological stability.

A component sine-qua-non is the description and study of properties of attractive cyclic nitramines inclusive of plastic bonded explosives that contain such cyclic nitramines.
