Abstract
Thermal decomposition of two kinds of hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane(HNIW) particles (230 μm, 40 μm) were studied by TG-MS. The isothermal decomposition residues of HNIW with larger particle (230 μm) were researched by FTIR spectra and elemental analysis. The results in the non-isothermal decomposition show that there are two steps for HNIW with larger particle and only one step for HNIW with small particle, the main products are NO, N2O, CO2, a small amount of NO2 and C2N2H2. Isothermal decomposition products of HNIW with large particle at 204°C are same as in the first step of the non-isothermal decomposition. The average molecular formulas of the residues at 204°C for 10 minutes and 60 minutes are C3H4.5N5.5O, C2H4N2O. The total of isothermal decomposition reaction at 204°C is C6H6N12O12 =6NO + N2O +2CO2 +2HCN + C2H4N2O.
