Study Of The Effect Of Electron Beam Treatment On The Properties Of Triaminotrinitrobenzene

The effect of electron-beam treatment with doses up to 450 kGy on the properties of triaminotrinitrobenzene (TATB) was studied. A linear dependence of the number of paramagnetic centres on the treatment dose and their stability upon heating has been revealed. It is shown that electron beam treatment leads to an increase in the interlayer distance in the crystal structure of TATB, causes a significant increase in its volatility and a decrease in the temperature of the onset of intense decomposition by 20 degrees C.
