2,6-diamino-3,5-dinitropyrazine-1-oxide(ANPZO), as an insensitive high explosive, with a high yield and excellent purity has been prepared at pilot plant scale by an improved method. The synthesized ANPZO is characterized by IR, laser granularity measurement, SEM and HPLC.The particle analysis revealed that the improved method could offer desired product with average particle size of 40 mm and high purity(>98.45%). The experimental parameters exhibited that the detonation velocity of the formulation based on ANPZO was higher than that of the corresponding TATB formulation. The DSC curve showed that the exothermic decomposition of the product occurred at the temperature between300.5 C and 360.4 C. Furthermore, the sensitivity test suggests its safe nature towards mechanical stimulus.
As seen above this is the first Special issue for an Inter- national Symposium on Ballistics published by Defence Technology, which aims to become a worldwide recognised scientific Journal covering the entire sphere of defence science and technology. Ballistics, in its wide sense, is an important part of this, not widely recognised outside the community of ballisticians. The International Symposia on Ballistics have been organised since 1974, and from a modest start these symposia now typically attract an attendance of 4-500 scientists and engineers every 1 1/2 years.
