Study Progress of Several High Energy Density Materials(HEDM)

The current situation of investigating five HEDMs(DNTF,ADN,TNAZ,FOX-12 and FOX-7)in China were summarized.Their synthesis methods,physicochemical and explosive properties,compatibility and applications in the formulation of explosive and propellant were introduced.DNTF shows an outstanding performance in composite explosives and explode network and is used as oxidant in propellant.ADN can be used as high energetic oxidant of the low specific signal propellant.TNAZ can be used in casting explosive and gun propellant.FOX-12 and FOX-7 are potential compositions of insensitive explosives,with 24 references.
