| Abstract: |
| There is no hesitation that the improvement in the ballistic missiles needs to rally The efficiency of the destructive power of the warheads. The high financial cost of the developed missiles and the high sensitivity considered a challenge that obstacle the developer to get the required performance. Nano-particles with reduced graphene oxide (RGO) relies on a new series of energy materials that can be produced chemically or thermally to reduce the oxygen content by exploiting the interlaying spacing and functionalization of the graphite basal planes. The RGO could easily disperse in an organic solvent due to its hydrophobic material and achieve a large surface area. In this paper, Reduced graphene oxide RGO (2 wt.%) was prepared and dispersed on 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane (RDX) by a solvent-nonsolvent slurry method. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) Used it for characterization of the tested composition. The ignition temperature and delay of ignition were determined by the deflagration test. Thermal behavior was inspected by thermogravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that the RGO layers caused accumulation of the heat inside the crystals during the heating process and decreased the ignition temperature of the prepared composite RDX-RGO. While the decomposition peak of composite RDX was shifted In ways similar to the pure RDX. |
