Abstract

The initial step of chemical reaction initiated by laser-generated shock waves has been observed in glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) in condensed phase. Shocks are generated by pulsed laser vaporization of thin aluminum films and launched into adjacent films of GAP at 77 K. Comparison of FIIR spectra obtained before and after shock passage shows that initial reaction involves elimination of molecular nitrogen from the azide functional groups of the polymer. The shock arrival time has been measured by a velocity interferometer as a function of thickness of GAP and laser fluence. The shock pressure has been calculated by using a universal liquid state Hugoniot. A simple model is proposed to calculate shock velocity and pressure as a function of laser fluence. The results are in agreement with experimental data.
