  • Polymer modified TNT containing explosives
    Patent number: 4445948
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved explosive TNT based composit consisting of TNT, HDX, RDX, aluminum and a small amount of an elastomeric linear polymer having polar groups dissolved or dispersed throughout, said composition having improved properties. Such improved properties include: reduced cracking and exudation, improved friction sensitivity, sympathetic detonation and enhanced cook-off hazard properties.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 7, 1982
    Date of Patent: May 1, 1984

  • In situ cured booster explosive
    Patent number: 4385948
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing an in situ cured ster explosive by mixing explosive crystals with a prepolymer solution comprising a carboxyl (or hydroxyl)-terminated hydrophobic polyester and epoxidized linseed oil with chromium octanoate as a catalyst. The explosive mixture is pressed into desired size and cured at 60.degree. C. to 70.degree. C. for about 96 hours. The resulting in situ cured explosive has desirable safety and physical properties.
