查看更多>>摘要:The interfacial interaction between HMX molecules and coating materials is the key to the safety per-formance of explosives and has received extensive attention.However,screening suitable coating agents to enhance the interfacial effect to obtain high-energy and low-sensitivity explosives has long been a major challenge.In this work,HMX-PEI/rGO/g-C3N4(HPrGC)composites were innovatively prepared by a multi-level coating strategy of two-dimensional graphite rGO and g-C3N4.The g-C3N4 used for desen-sitization has a rich π-conjugated system and shows outstanding ability in reducing friction sensitivity.The hierarchical structure of HPrGC formed by electrostatic self-assembly and π-π stacking can effec-tively dissipate energy accumulation under heat and mechanical stimulation through structural evolu-tion,thus exhibiting a prominent synergistic desensitization effect on HMX.The results show that rGO/g-C3N4 coating has no effect on the crystal structure and chemical structure of HMX.More importantly,the perfect combination of g-C3N4 and rGO endows HPrGC with enhanced thermal stability and ideal me-chanical sensitivity(IS:21 J,FS:216 N).Obviously,the new fabrication of HPrGC enriches the variety of desensitizer materials and helps to deepen the understanding of the interaction between explosives and coatings.
