Abstract

The application of thermal analysis methods to the study of unstable and metastable materials is discussed. Specific DTA and TG techniques are described which have been successfully used to measure small reactivity changes and induced physicochemical changes in primary and secondary explosives. Data obtained by these techniques have been correlated to the more engineering-type tests currently used. Comparisons between the two types of tests are made, and arguments for the justification for routine application of thermal analysis to unstable and metastable materials is presented.
