Carbon-rich foam formation in the early stages of detonation of 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB).

The detonation of carbon-rich high explosives yields small molecules and an excess of carbon, which forms carbon nanoparticles in post-detonation recovery experiments. The formation mechanism of these nanoparticles has been concealed experimentally b…
