Effects of the crystallinity of fluoropolymer binders components in polymer-bonded explosives on shock Hugoniots: A computational study by Wen-yu Zhou, Hua-rong Li, Yong Han, Liu Liu, Hong Yang, Yang Zhou

“…Physically, this phenomenon can be attributed to a reduction in the compressible free volume of the fluoropolymers due to a more orderly chain arrangement. Additionally, under the same compression ratio, the shock temperature of the fluoropolymers increased with the crystallinity, posing potential safety risks to explosives. …”

Anomalous Circulation Patterns in Association with Summertime Regional Daily Precipitation Extremes over Northeast China by Chuanlei Chen, Zhaoyong Guan, Min Jiao, Pengyu Hu

“…Located in the strong convergence zone to the southeast of the abnormal cyclonic circulation and northwest of the abnormal anticyclonic circulation, huge amounts of water vapor from the Inner Mongolia, Russia, the Japan Sea, and the mid-high latitudes of the Northwest Pacific are transported to Northeast China, providing sufficient water vapor condition for the occurrence of extreme daily precipitation in this region. In addition, daily extreme precipitation in Northeast China is also closely related to the accumulation and convergence of disturbance energy in Northeast China. …”
