In this paper,we summarized recent research progress in two main areas:the influencing factors of phase transformation of ε-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexazaisowoodane (ε-CL-20) in practical applications,and the effects of different polymer coatings on the crystal form stability of ε-CL-20.According to the polymorph conversion parameters,the effects of different types of polymer coatings on the stability of ε-CL-20 polymorph were discussed,and polymer coatings were mainly divided into three categories:crystal transformation-promoting system,intermediate system and crystal transformation-inhibiting system.For the crystal transformation-promoting system,such additives partially dissolved ε-CL-20,the phase transformation process changed from solid-solid phase to solid-liquid-solid phase transition,and the activation energy of ε-CL-20 was reduced during the phase transformation process,thus promoting the phase transformation of explosives.For the crystal transformation-inhibiting system,the phase transformation temperature of the mixed system increased,thereby suppressing the phase transformation of explosives.The research direction of the coating technology for controlling crystal forms was proposed.
