Preparation and Properties of CL-20 based Composite by Direct Ink Writing.

Direct ink writing (DIW) is a new trend in the micro-scale charging of energetic materials. In this study, a CL-20 based composite was prepared using DIW, and its properties were characterized. Results indicated that the particles of the composite are found at the sub-micron level, and a single layer measures at 2.4 μm. The composite has high density and low impact sensitivity, and its critical detonation size is around 1×0.4 mm. This feature will contribute to the detonation at the micro levelto a certain degree.
