Abstract

Products evolved during the detonation of high explosives are primarily a collection of molecular gases and solid carbon condensates. Electron microscopy studies have revealed that detonation carbon (soot) can contain a variety of unique carbon particles possessing novel morphologies, such as carbon onions and ribbons. Despite these observations very little is known about the conditions that leads to the production of these novel carbon nanoparticles. A fuller understanding on conditions that generate such nanoparticles would greatly benefit from time-resolved studies that probe particle formation and evolution through and beyond the chemical reaction zone. Herein, we report initial results employing time-resolved X-ray scattering (TRSAXS) measurements to monitor nanosecond time-scale carbon products formed from detonating Composition B (60% TNT, 40% RDX). These studies were performed at the Dynamic Compression Sector (DCS, Sector 35) at the Advanced Photon Source (Argonne National Laboratory). Analysis of the collected scattering patterns reveals the presence of fractal multi-layered carbon condensates.
