Abstract

The possibility of producing underwater unconfined explosions with the use of propylcarborane as a fuel and water as an oxidant was demonstrated experimentally. The specific TNT equivalent of the energy release in the explosion reaction between propylcarborane and water was found to be 1.5 times higher than conventional explosives. A possibility of organizing the combustion of initially unmixed propylcarborane and water was experimentally proven as well
