Abstract
Glycidyl azide polymer (GAP)-coated sub-micron aluminum (sub-mAl@GAP) particles exhibit higher heat release than their uncoated counterparts under low heating rates. However, their application in explosives has been hindered due to a lack of understanding of their energy release characteristics under heating rates of detonation levels. To address this problem, the energy release performances of sub-mAl@GAP particles under ultrafast heating rates stimulated by an electric explosion of wire and high-energy laser were studied. The results showed that the reaction of sub-mAl@GAP particles was more violent than that of an uncoated counterpart under an electric explosion stimulus. Additionally, the reaction time of the former was 0.4 ms shorter than that of the latter. In addition, the propagations of shock waves of the sub-mAl@GAP and sub-mAl were analyzed. The propagation distances of shock waves of the sub-mAl@GAP were all longer than those of sub-mAl under laser fluences of 0.5 J/cm2, 1.2 J/cm2, and 2.4 J/cm2. The distance difference gradually increased with the decrease in the laser fluence. Under a laser fluence of 0.5 J/cm2, the velocity and distance differences of the sub-mAl@GAP and sub-mAl were both the largest due to the energy contribution from the GAP. In conclusion, the fast decomposition rate of the GAP and its energy contribution would benefit the energy release of sub-mAl under ultrafast heating rates.
