Two-stage carbon condensation model during detonation of high explosives

Abstract
During detonating of high explosives with a negative oxygen balance, one of the products of the chemical reaction is condensed carbon. However, the lack of experimental data does not allow us to give a quantitative assessment of the carbon condensation process today. In this paper, a two-stage model of carbon condensation during the detonation of high explosives is proposed. We used small-angle X-ray scattering method to study the dynamics of the formation of carbon nanoparticles during the detonation of charges of a mixture of TNT and RDX.
