T1 COMPACTION PROPERTIES OF DIAMINOAZOXY FURAZAN (DAAF): A SMALL-ANGLE NEUTRON SCATTERING STUDY JF International Journal of Energetic Materials and Chemical Propulsion JO IJEMCP YR 2013 FD 2013-10-03 VO 12 IS 5 SP 411 OP 428 K1 DAAF K1 porosity K1 fractal K1 SANS AB Small-angle neutron scattering measurements were performed on the high explosive diaminoazoxy-furazan (DAAF) in order to quantify the void size and morphology as a function of the pressed density and the pre-pressed grain size. DAAF synthesized by different methods, resulting in volume-weighted mean grain sizes (radii) of 45,18, and 4 µm, was studied at pressed densities ranging from 1.583 to 1.682 g/cm3. The void volume is well described as a fractal network of voids with fractally rough interfaces. The mean void size, volume, and surface fractal dimensions were found to be dependent upon the pressed density. Mean void sizes ranged from 0.059 to 0.195 µm, but were correlated over lengths ranging from 2.1 to >9 µm. Volume fractal dimensions ranged between 2.13 and 2.78 and surface fractal dimensions were between 2.061 and 2.589. Methods are discussed by which the mean particle size and crystal density within a pressed sample can be calculated from the small-angle neutron scattering data.
