Abstract
Abstract A critical assessment is given of the likely modes of thermal decomposition of RDX. Previous publications by other authors report that thermally decomposed RDX produces nitroxide and nitronylnitroxide radicals as intermediates. These results are discussed, and it is suggested that these radicals are not primary decomposition products, but are formed by the reaction of the radical products of thermal decomposition with molecular oxygen.
