Pseudoideal detonation of mechanoactivated mixtures of ammonium perchlorate with nanoaluminum

Detonation properties of mechanochemical activated ammonium perchlorate with aluminum (AP–Al) mixtures with increased detonation velocity was studied. For compositions with nanoscale aluminum was obtained nonmonotonic dependence of the detonation velocity vs reciprocal diameter. The results generally showed that the combined usage of mechanical activation and nanoscale components of explosive mixtures can significantly increase the detonation ability and reduce the critical diameter to d _cr = 7 mm.
