Detonation velocity of an emulsion explosive sensitized with polymer microballoons

Аннотация

This paper presents the results of investigation of the detonation velocity of an emulsion explosive sensitized with Expancel polymer microballoons in a wide range of initial density of 0.14–1.33 g/cm³. It is shown that at a density of the emulsion explosive less than 0.4 g/cm³, detonation with an unstable front characteristic of liquid explosives is possible.
