Abstract
PBX compositions and methods for fabricating PBX compositions are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a PBX composition comprises a binder matrix comprising a thermoset resin and an oxidizer comprising octanitrocubane (ONC), the oxidizer homogeneously dispersed within the binder matrix. In another embodiment, a method for fabricating a PBX composition comprises providing an oxidizer comprising octanitrocubane (ONC) and blending the oxidizer with a prepolymer that, upon cure, forms a thermoset resin.
Claims8
A PBX composition comprising:
- a binder matrix comprising a thermoset resin;
- an oxidizer comprising octanitrocubane (ONC), the oxidizer homogeneously dispersed within the binder matrix;
- and
- first structures comprising a first material and second structures comprising a second material, wherein, upon combination, the first material and the second material form a polymer, and wherein the first structures are hollow spheres or single-walled carbon nanotubes and the first material is a monomer precursor.
