Microwave-Induced Heating of HMX for Decomposition Kinetic Analysis Amanda L. Duque1 and W. Lee Perry1 1 Weapons Experiments Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM 87545, U.S.A. ABSTRACT We use microwave (MW) absorption to induce rapid, uniform heating of the secondary high explosive octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) for decomposition analysis in a fast kinetic regime (10-2 s). Because HMX alone is MW inactive, composites comprised of an HMX-polymeric binder system doped with a small mass fraction (
