Abstract: It is significative for understanding the mechanism of pressure desensitization of emulsion explosive to study the anti-shockwave performance of emulsion matrix. A certain quantity of glass microballoons (GMB) is mixed with emulsion matrix after it was subjected by shockwave, and its explosive property is compared with that of emulsion explosive bearing the same quantity of GMB and subjected by shockwaves too. It shows that the anti-shockwave performance of emulsion matrix is better than that of emulsion explosives. The analysis results indicate that there are many tiny interfaces in the explosive when sensitizers mixed with emulsion matrix, and the matrix nearby interfaces is broken easily when subjected by shock waves, thus the explosive property decreases accordingly.
