The primary purpose of this research has been to investigate the lattice and molecular dynamics of RDX by observing the effects of both slow and rapid heating on the vibrational modes of RDX, and to determine if a thermally induced phase transition to the unstable polymorph can be observed spectroscopically. A laser Raman investigation of octahydro-1-3-5-7-tetranitro-1-3-5-7-tetrazocine (HMX), the eight-member ring analog of RDX, has shown that thermally induced phase transitions can be observed and recorded with major, easily recognizable differences in the spectra of the different polymorphs.

This book deals with polymorphism - the existence of different solid structures of the same chemical entity (for example graphite and diamond, both composed of carbon) which provide ideal systems for investigating the relationship between the structure and properties of a wide variety of materials.

Most people are familiar with the fact that diamond and graphite are both composed only of carbon; yet they have very different properties which result from the very different structures of the two solids - they are polymorphs of carbon. Understanding the relationship between the structures and the properties of materials is of fundamental importance in developing and producing new materials with improved or new properties. The existence of polymorphic systems allows the direct study of the connection between structures and properties. This book provides grounding on the fundamental structural and energetic basis for polymorphism, the preparation and characterization of polymorphic substances and its importance in the specific areas of pharmaceuticals, pigments and high energy (explosive) materials. The closing chapter describes the intellectual property implications and some of the precedent patent litigations in which polymorphism has played a central role. The book contains over 2500 references to provide a ready entry into the relevant literature.

This book uses experimental and computational methods to rationalize and predict for the first time the relative impact sensitivities of a range of energetic materials. Using knowledge of crystal structures, vibrational properties, energy-transfer mechanisms, and experimentally measured sensitivities, it describes a model that leads to excellent correlation with experimental results in all cases. As such, the book paves the way for a new, fully ab initio approach for the design of safer energetic materials based solely on knowledge of their solid-state structures. Energetic materials (explosives, propellants, gas generators, and pyrotechnics) are defined as materials that release heat and/or gaseous products at a high rate upon stimulus by heat, impact, shock, sparks, etc. They have widespread military and civilian uses, including munitions, mining, quarrying, demolition, emergency signaling, automotive safety, and space exploration. One of their most important properties is sensitivity to accidental initiation during manufacture, transport, storage, and operation, which has important implications for their safe use.

Water adsorption isotherms were measured for the polymorphs of octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-s-tetrazine (HMX). Water is found to sorb into the crystal structure in the order, gamma-HMX> alpha-HMX, and not at all into beta-HMX. The thermodynamics of water interaction with the surface of beta-HMX was studied as a function of grinding action. Grinding reduces the free surface energy of beta-HMX from 25 to 5 ergs/sq cm, and increases the hydrophobic character of the surface by a factor of 12. The calculated thermodynamic functions support the concept of adsorption of water in clusters on both ground and unground beta-HMX surfaces. The integral heat of water adsorption increases with increasing hydrophobicity. This is attributed to unhindered dipole interaction of water with the more isolated active sites of like charges. Accordingly, water is shown to become less entropic as the hydrophobicity is increased. (Author).
