TATB, triaminotrinitrobenzene or 2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-trinitrobenzene is an aromatic explosive, based on the basic six-carbon benzene ring structure with three nitro functional groups (NO 2) and three amine (NH 2) groups attached, alternating around the ring.

Sep 15, 2010 · Among the various insensitive high explosives, 2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-trinitrobenzene, commonly known as TATB, is an attractive insensitive explosive as it satisfies the safety requirements at high temperatures and its resistance to accidental initiation and explosion.

Jun 15, 2024 · 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB) features very insensitive to various stimuli, which stems from its high stability on multiple levels of structures. This article summarizes the structural characteristics on the levels of molecule, crystal and composite that contribute to the very low sensitivity of TATB, as well as that of ...

Feb 28, 2024 · TATB (1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene) is an important explosive compound because of its extensive use in munitions and world-wide weapons systems. Despite its importance, researchers have been trying to understand its response to temperature extremes for the past 50 years.

Feb 2, 2024 · Using cryo-focused pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry (pyGC-MS), our team has identified a new molecular profile emerging as TATB is heated to decomposition temperatures.

The behavior of TATB when exposed to thermal insults is important to understand on a molecular level when devel-oping safety response procedures. This manuscript summaries the current state of studies on the thermal decomposi-tion of TATB and subsequent decomposition products. INTRODUCTION
