An analytical method for overlapping of the melting and decomposition of 2-oximemalononitrile

In the thermal analysis of many energetic compounds, there is a phenomenon of melting before decomposition, and the melting endothermic process is masked by the subsequent rapid exothermic decomposition, which has affected the research of separation in melting and thermal decomposition processes. 2-oximemalononitrile, an energetic intermediate whose melting and decomposition processes had the overlapping, was used as the research object in this paper, and the complete melting and decomposition processes were acquired by MATLAB software, separately. In addition, the kinetics and mechanism of thermal decomposition of 2-oximemalononitrile were investigated by Málek method, which was used as guidance for the safe application in handling, processing, and storage.
