A new, rapid and inexpensive synthesis method for monodispersed triaminotrinitrobenzene (TATB) microparticles based on micelle-confined precipitation that enables control of microscopic morphology. The morphology of the TATB microparticles can be tuned between quasi-spherical and faceted by controlling the speed of recrystallization. The method enables improved performance and production consistency of TATB explosives for military grade explosives and propellants

The present disclosure relates to a trunkline delay detonator and a blast-triggering device using the same. In the blast-triggering device, a trunkline delay detonator is inserted into a connector in such a manner that a plurality of shock tubes connected to a detonator for initiating an explosive are interposed between the connector and the trunkline delay detonator, so that an explosion signal is applied to the shock tubes by detonation of the trunkline delay detonator. In the blasting detonator, close contact between the outer surface of the trunkline delay detonator and the shock tubes is improved, whereby energy lost in an explosion is reduced and an explosion signal is stably and uniformly applied to the shock tubes by using powder which has a weak explosive power and is relatively insensitive compared to conventional powders.
