Abstract

Optical properties of RDX (cyclotrimethylene-trinitramine) and HMX (cyclotetramethylene-tetranitramine) were obtained from 2.5 to 18 μm using scattering-corrected KBr pellet-FTIR transmission spectrometry. Absorption index (k) was measured directly and refractive index (n) was deduced using dispersion theory. At 10.6 μm the absorption coefficients were RDX, 2800 cm-1 and HMX, 5670 cm-1.
