DNAN and NQ were shown to be taken up into the roots and shoots of a mixture of big bluestem grass (Andropogon gerardii), Nash Indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans), and switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) during phytoremediation of soils contaminated with up to 50 mg kg(-1) IMX-101. Complete ...
We studied in vitro dermal penetration of the newly developed munition, IMX-101 (Insensitive Munitions eXplosive) as whole composition and its individual components; 2-4-dinitroanisole (DNAN), 3-nitro-1,2,4,-triazole-5-one (NTO), and nitroguanidine (NQ) in static Franz diffusion cells. ...
The primary diagnostic, velocimetry (both VISAR and PDV) was used to track the velocity history of the downstream interface between the explosive sample and a sodium chloride window. Each experiment included multiple samples with thicknesses ranging from 3 to 12 mm to allow establishing equation-...
IMX-101IMX-104PhotolysisDissolutionTransformation productsNew munition compounds have been developed to replace traditional explosives to prevent unintended detonations. However, insensitive munitions (IM) can leave large proportion of unexploded charge in the field, where it is subjected to photodegradation ...
