Thermal behavior and explosive properties of TNT/RGO

Abstract 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), is the most widely accessible explosive. Thanks to melt cast characteristics (melting temperature of TNT 80-82 °C,), lead contribute in many applications as mortars, grenades, artillery rounds, warheads, and antipersonnel mines. has high chemical stability, moderate sensitivity. In this paper, a novel addition nano particles reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was added enhance characteristics. A composite TNT/RGO 98:2 wt. % prepared. The morphology mixture captured using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Impact sensitivity friction were evaluated, thermal behavior investigated diffeential calorimetry (DSC), characterization prepared pure examined an X-Ray diffractometer. Explosive determined by detonation velocity brisance Kast . results showed improvement with reserving explosive TNT. Interestingly, decrease melting point due presence RGO observed. This might be effective parameter procedure
