Abstract

Abstract Highly dense nitrogen-rich compounds are potential high performance energetic materials for use in industrial scene or military. 4,6-Diazido-N-nitro-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine (DANT) is relatively a new substance on which characterization and detonation parameters were tested. The sensitivity of DANT to impact, friction and electric discharge was also determined. Sensitivity to impact is between PETN and RDX, sensitivity to friction is higher as PETN. DANT´s relative strength is 108 % of TNT. We also calculated and measured detonation parameters such as pressure and detonation velocity. Theoretical detonation parameters are 8 205 m.s-1 and 30.3 GPa. Temperature of autoignition is 156 °C.
