In a groundbreaking new study, scientists have identified the thermal expansion characteristics of TATB-based polymers. TATB (2,4,6-trinitrobenzene) is a highly thermally stable organic compound, and its incorporation into polymers has been shown to improve their thermal stability. This study elucidated the thermal expansion characteristics of these polymers, which can be used to inform the design of materials with specific thermal expansion characteristics. This research could have implications for a wide range of applications, including the aerospace and automotive industries.
