Molecular dynamics simulations for pure ε-CL-20 and ε-CL-20-based PBXs

Molecular dynamics has been employed to simulate the well-known high energy density compound is an element of-CL-20 (hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane) crystal and 12 is an element of-CL-20-based PBXs (polymer bonded explosives) with four kinds of typical fluorine polymers, i.e., polyvinylidenedifluoride, polychlorotrifluoroethylene, fluorine rubber (F-2311), and fluorine resin (F-2314) individually. The elastic coefficients, isotropic mechanical properties (tensile moduli, bulk moduli, shear moduli, and poission's ratios), and bonding energy are first reported for is an element of-CL-20 crystal and is an element of-CL-20-based polymer bonded explosives (PBXs). The mechanical properties of is an element of-CL-20 can be effectively improved by blending with a small amount of fluorine polymers, and the whole effect of the adding fluorine polymers to improve mechanical properties of PBXs along the three crystalline surfaces of is an element of-CL-20 is found to be (100) approximate to (001) > (010). The interaction between each of the crystalline surfaces and each of the fluorine polymers is different, and the ordering of binding energy for the three surfaces is (001) > (100) > (010); F-2314 always has the strongest binding ability with the three different surfaces. F-2314 can best improve the ductibility and tenacity of PBX when it is positioned on is an element of-CL-20 (001) crystal surface. The calculations on detonation performances for pure is an element of-CL-20 crystal and the four is an element of-CL-20-based PBXs show that adding a small amount of fluorine polymer into pure is an element of-CL-20 will lower detonation performance, but each detonation parameter of the obtained PBXs is still excellent.
