Characterization of Polymer-Coated RDX and HMX Particles

Fourier transform‐infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR) in transmission and photoacoustic detection (PAS) techniques have been used for the characterization of polymeric coating of cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) using a fluoroelastomer (Viton®). Although the bands of the polymer were indicated by two d...

Summary:Fourier transform‐infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR) in transmission and photoacoustic detection (PAS) techniques have been used for the characterization of polymeric coating of cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) using a fluoroelastomer (Viton®). Although the bands of the polymer were indicated by two different techniques, the transmission (casting film) showed better evidence of absorption of fluoroelastomer for the polymer coating of the energetic material. Also attenuated total reflectance (ATR), another FT‐IR technique, has been used to analyze a cyclotetramethylenetetramine (HMX)/Viton system for the characterization of Viton bands and it showed excellent results without sample preparation.
