Abstract: We have used a variety of observables to study the response of HMX based energetic materials formulations to thermal stimuli. In this paper, we compare the response of PBX 9501 and PBXN‐9 to a temperature of 205° C. Both undergo thermal runaway at this boundary condition with similar preignition behavior. However, the post‐ignition burn propagations of the two formulations are very different with the final reaction violence significantly lower for PBXN‐9 than for PBX 9501.
