Abstract in brief

The study used high-resolution X-ray nanocomputed tomography to observe how voids form and grow inside 135triamino246trinitrobenzene crystals under compression, revealing that initial inhomogeneities in the crystal act as starting points for void development.
As pressure increases, these voids grow non-uniformly, with irregular and rougher void surfaces being more likely to break into smaller microvoids, which then coalesce into larger voids.
The findings help understand how void formation relates to the deterioration of energetic materials, providing insights into their behavior during manufacturing and transportation.]
