Abstract
An evaluation on coating HMX crystals with three different polymeric binders using the βsolvent slurry processβ was conducted. Three polymers employed were:
a thermoplastic copolymer [KelβF 3700],
a thermoplastic elastomer [kratonβG 1650] and
a polyurethane [Impranil DLH].
KelβF 3700 presented an electrostatic hazard and was too insoluble for application by the slurry process. KratonβG 1650 presented a similar electrostatic hazard and its process yield was low. Impranil DLH produced a high yield using the batch slurry process.

## Abstract The change in postdetonation free energy has been used for assessment of the sum of shock and bubble energies of aluminized explosives in underwater applications. As has been suggested for CHNO explosives the detonation pressure also in this case seems to be a significant factor. For co
