The objective is to develop, at the laboratory scale, formulations consisting of one or more energetic molecules and a binder. These materials must match the specifications in terms of performance and insensitivity.
This new process using acoustic waves is an innovative and very promising method for rapidly obtaining new explosive compositions with optimized properties. The work will therefore consist of:
- Conducting a bibliographic review to obtain formulations in granular form using the RAM (resonant acoustic mixing) process.
- Identifying the various process parameters and understanding their influence on the final properties of the mixture.
- Formulating energetic compositions on a laboratory scale that match the specifications.
- Characterizing the materials produced through physicochemical analyses.
- Proposing improvements to optimize the final properties.
- Proposing new applications for RAM in connection with the unit's activities.
