Crystalline polymers such as β‐cyclodextrin (βCD) can be modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG) diglycidyl ether cross‐linkers (262, 394, 500 Da). Here we show that the quantity and length of the PEG soft segments influence ...

Experimental investigation into the feasibility of optically sensitising an insensitive explosive, FOX-7 (1,1-Diamino-2,2-dinitroethene) by the doping of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) has been conducted. The commercially ...

Current Polymer Bonded Explosive (PBX) formulation is limited by a compromise - optimised final properties against processability. While solid loading (explosive content) would ideally be maximised and plasticiser content ...
