Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Energetic Solids

A continuing objective in the area of energetic materials is to reduce sensitivity toward impact and shock. One approach is to develop a better understanding of how factors related to the crystal lattice, e.g., defects, influence the initiation and propagation of detonation. Molecular dynamics is a useful tool for this purpose. This paper presents an overview of molecular dynamics treatments of energetic solids. Some of these have simulated initiation and propagation in idealized systems; others have focused on developing a satisfactory procedure for describing molecular crystals of practical significance. Our emphasis in this discussion is on the progress that has been made along the second lines.     

Kinetic equations for thermal dissociation processes

Relationships between average degree of transformation and time of dissociation were derived for polydisperse granular materials with account to the type of grain size distribution. It has been checked, under what conditions the kinetic curves obtained by numeric solution of those relationships may be described in terms of equations D1 α²=kt , F2 [1/(1 - α) - 1 =kt] and F3 [1/(1 - α)² - 1=kt]. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Ultracentrifugation Method to Measure Water-Soluble Monomer Incorporation in Latex

Emulsion copolymerizations involving water-soluble functional monomers such as N-methylolacrylamide often result in the formation of water-soluble polymer that remains in the aqueous phase of the latex. A simple procedure is developed to determine the amount of water-soluble polymer in the aqueous phase of a high-solids latex using ultracentrifugation. Dilution of the latex with water is usually found necessary for good separation during ultracentrifugation. If the latex contains a surface-active species (surfactant) in amounts comparable to the amount of water-soluble polymer, calculation of the amount of water-soluble polymer in the serum of the original latex will require information about dilution dependent partitioning of the surfactant between the surface of the particles and the aqueous phase. This paper outlines a procedure that enables determination of the amount of water-soluble polymer in the aqueous phase of the original latex, by ultracentrifugation of the latex diluted to different concentrations. The procedure also gives the Henrys constant for the adsorption of the surfactant on the surface of the polymer particles in the latex.     

I NQR and spectroscopic investigation of impurity-doped and mixed lithium iodate Li1−xHxIO3 crystals

The ¹²⁷I NQR, IR absorption and Raman spectra of impurity-doped and mixed lithium iodate Li_1−xH_xIO₃ crystals grown from water solutions with different LiIO₃/HIO₃ ratios were investigated depending on the content of the impurity hydrogen x. The NQR results suggested that, at small concentration of doping iodic acid x<0.22, the lattice dynamics of the crystal grown from water solution changes significantly though the crystal retains hexagonal symmetry. Spectroscopic studies are compatible with average hexagonal symmetry of the grown doped crystals. From the results of Raman studies at room temperature and 100 K, the concentration range of hydrogen dopant 0.22<x<0.36 was found where disordered solid solution crystals Li_1−xH_xIO₃ are formed.     

Neutron scattering study of water confined in periodic mesoporous organosilicas

A series of quasi-elastic neutron scattering measurements were performed using IN6 at the Institute Laue Langevin for a mesoporous organosilica material with phenyl functions, called phenyltriethoxysilane (PTES). The aim of the experiment was to study the diffusion dynamics of nano-scale water clusters inside the hydrophobic pores as a function of temperature and hydration. By fitting the Debye-Waller factor, the data show clearly the different behavior between water, both inside and outside the hydrophobic pores, which resembles bulk water. The mean thermal displacement 〈u²〉 of the external water increases with T almost linearly up to 353 K, while the internal water quickly reaches the maximum at T∼323 K, indicating the confinement by an averaged pore diameter of the porous organosilica.
