Abstract

The ε-HNIW crystals with various crystal habits and modified e-HNIW coated with several kinds of coating materials were obtained under different technological conditions and their impact sensitivity were determined. The results show that ε-HNIW crystals with approximate parallelogram shape and identical size have lower impact sensitivity and little needle ε-HNIW crystals have the highest impact sensitivity among these samples. Wax and butadiene nitrile rubber can effectively decrease the impact sensitivity of ε-HNIW, whereas polycarbonate, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene can not.
