Abstract

<jats:p>Individual explosives such as hexogen, octogen or TNT can be characterized by determining their thermochemical and detonation parameters. Some of these parameters can be modified by changing the diameter of the charge, type of confined or density. However, a much greater possibility of their change can be obtained by forming mixtures with various additives. The paper presents the results review of literature data regarding the impact of various additives on the detonation and thermochemical parameters of individual explosives and of research on selected detonation parameters of hexogen and octogen compositions with glass microspheres and microballoons made of plastic. Measured parameters were: critical diameter and layer as well as detonation velocity. An increase in the critical diameter and layer was observed as well as a decrease in the detonation velocity along with th increase in the content of the inertial component in the explosive mixture.</jats:p>
