Enhancing the explosive characteristics of a Semtex explosive by involving admixtures of BCHMX and HMX
A well-known ternary plastic explosive, Czech Semtex 1H, contains a mixture of PETN and RDX softened by SBR.In this work, BCHMX was used to replace PETN in Semtex 1H to form Sem-BC+RDX.In addition, another mixture based on BCHMX and HMX as energetic fillers bonded by the polymeric matrix of Semtex 1H (Sem-BC+HMX) was studied.The particle size distr
