Nano-MnFe2O4 powder synthesis by detonation of emulsion explosive

Nano-MnFe2O4 powders were synthesized by detonation of specially prepared emulsion explosives. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were carried out to characterize the as-prepared powders. The results indicated that relatively finely dispersed spherical powders were obtained when the content of RDX in the emulsion explosives was 9.18 wt. %. A certain content of internal-phase ammonium nitrate was not only favorable to control the ingredients of the detonation products, but also advantageous to stabilize the detonation structure of the emulsion explosive according to differential thermogravimetry experimental results.
