Liquid-phase decomposition mechanism for bis(triaminoguanidinium) azotetrazolate (TAGzT).

This work provides new insights for the liquid-phase decomposition of bis(triaminoguanidinium) azotetrazolate (TAGzT). The liquid-phase decomposition process was investigated using a combined experimental and computational approach. Sub-milligram samples of TAGzT were heated at rates of about 2000 K s-1 to a set temperature (230 to 260 °C) where liquid-phase decomposition occurred under isothermal conditions.

Theory of multi-species electrophoresis in the presence of surface conduction.

Electrophoresis techniques are characterized by concentration disturbances (or waves) propagating under the effect of an electric field. These techniques are usually performed in microchannels where surface conduction through the electric double layer (EDL) at channel walls is negligible compared with bulk conduction. However, when electrophoresis techniques are integrated in nanochannels, shallow microchannels or charged porous media, surface conduction can alter bulk electrophoretic transport.
