## Abstract The decomposition of nitroglycerin and ammonium nitrate follows the unimolecular equation. That of pentaerythritol tetranitrate shows slight autocatalysis and ethylenediamine dinitrate shows considerable autocatalysis. Normal Arrhenius expressions for the decomposition rate were obtaine
Kinetics of the thermal decomposition of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) in condensed state has been investigated by high temperature infrared spectroscopy (IR) and thermogravimetry (TG) in conjunction with pyrolysis gas analysis, differential thermal analysis (DTA) and hot-stage microscopy. Kin
