Abstract

Uniform crystallite morphology, narrow particle size distribution, and tailored inclusion content have been achieved for cyclotrimethylene trinitramine (RDX) explosive recrystallization by a combination of simple ultrasonic agitation and solvent evaporation, as characterized by optical imaging and confocal microscopy.
