Abstract: An analysis is performed of experimental data from isotopic tracer studies of the detonation mechanism and formation of the diamond phase of carbon in the detonation products of TNT, RDX, HMX, and their mixtures. Dependences of the relative yield and phase composition of carbon in the detonation products of components of composite explosives on the particle sizes of the explosives are given.

Keywords: explosives, detonation, isotopic method, nanodiamond.
