Check out:

for data on both thermodynamics and kinetics of such explosives.

CP/MAS NMR

Does anyone know where there is a CP/MAS NMR that university
researchers can run samples on?  We need to quantify carboxylic acid
groups on  PGL microspheres.  Ideally, we are looking for an NSF-funded
university center so the charge per sample is reasonable.  If you know
of such a center, please contact super…@ukcc.uky.edu or
KBUR…@UKCC.UKY.EDU.
