Uptake rates for hydrogen by Nb and Ta; effect of thin metallic overlayers

Description: The hydrogen uptake rates of clean Nb and Ta foils were measured as a function of temperature and pressure. The sticking coefficient (number of hydrogen atoms entering the bulk / number of hydrogen atoms hitting the surface) of hydrogen on clean Nb and Ta, at approx. = 2.2 x 10/sup -5/ Torr hydrogen and room temperature, was found to be surprisingly low, approx. = 0.005 and approx. = 0.05 respectively, resulting in very low uptake rates under these conditions. This result is explained on the ba… more

Vapor tagging of electric blasting caps with perfluorinated compounds. [For crime detection]

Description: Vapor tagging of electric blasting caps (EBC) is accomplished with the use of perfluorocarbon taggants. These taggants are absorbed in either the present EBC end closures or in substitute fluoroelastomeric end closures to approximately 5 to 10% of the total weight of end closure. The specific taggants have been chosen to allow a 0.5 to 5 nanoliter per minute vapor taggant emission rate from the tagged EBC over a 5 y lifetime. The taggant emission rates from tagged EBC have been experimentally o… more

Effect of taggant vapor adsorption and containment on the pedetonation detection of explosives

Description: Predetonation detection of explosives in realistic scenarios may be accomplished by detecting vapors emitted by the explosive. These vapors could be either the vapor emitted from the inherent compounds present in the explosive or the vapor emitted by a specific vapor taggant introduced into the explosive at the time of manufacture. The emitted vapor concentration in various detection scenarios can be diminished either by vapor adsorption onto adsorptive surfaces present in the scenario, e.g., c… more
