Description
Summary:The detonation characteristics of explosives from the class of furoxanes are calculated. It is shown that furoxanes containing other explosophoric groups have very high detonation parameters. The high sensitivity of furoxanes, which is their common property, can be eliminated, at the expense of a decrease in their power, by increasing their thermodynamic stability due to the conjunction of the furoxane cycle with the benzene ring and the formation of hydrogen compounds. The production of furoxane based explosive compositions of the oxidizer-fuel type is also promising.
