The effect of molecular structure on thermal stability, decomposition kinetics and reaction models of nitric esters

In this paper, the thermal stability and decomposition mechanism functions of 10 nitric esters including nitroglycerine (NG), pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), trimethylolethane trinitrate (TMETN), dipentaerythritol hexanitrate (DiPEHN), trimethylolpropane trinitrate (TMPTN), erythritol tetranitrate (ETN), xylitol pentanitrate (XPN), sorbitol hexanitrate (SHN), mannitol hexanitrate (MHN) and nitroisobutylglycerol trinitrate (NIBGT) are...
