Abstract
This invention relates to methods of controlling the generation and flow of fracto-emitted particles, preferably exo-electrons for purpose of enhancing chemical reactivity, e.g., the sensitivity of friction matches, or for purpose of diminishing chemical reactivity, e.g., stabilizing of explosives.
Claims17
A pyrotechnic friction match head comprising a substance having high exo-electron activity thereby resulting in the generation of fracto-emitted particles therein so as to increase the striking sensitivity of said friction match head.
A method of increasing the reactivity of a chemical composition sensitive to stroke, shock or rubbing comprising adding a substance generating a flow of fracto-emitted exoelectrons to said system.
A method of sensitizing a pyrotechnic or explosive system comprising incorporating into said system an exoelectronically active substance which generates fracto-emitted exoelectrons whereby the reactivity of said pyrotechnic or explosive system is enhanced.
A method of decreasing the reactivity of a pyrotechnic or explosive system which includes an exoelectrically active substance which generates fracto-emitted exoelectrons, said method comprising controlling the flow of said fracto-emitted exoelectrons by incorporating into said pyrotechnic or explosive system a material capable of absorbing exoelectrons.
A product capable of undergoing a pyrotechnic or explosive reaction at predetermined conditions comprising a substance having high exoelectron activity thereby resulting in the generation of fracto-emitted exoelectrons at said predetermined conditions so as to stimulate said pyrotechnic or explosive system at said predetermined conditions.
A product capable of undergoing a pyrotechnic or explosive reaction at predetermined conditions comprising a substance capable of absorbing exoelectrons therefrom in order to quench said pyrotechnic or explosive reaction at said predetermined conditions.
A method of decreasing the reactivity of a chemical composition sensitive to stroke, shock or rubbing comprising adding a substance controlling a flow of fracto-emitted exoelectrons to said system.
