The composite material based on nitrocellulose and cellulose was studied. The optimal chemical composition is Nitrocellulose/Cellulose/Trinitrotoluene 75/25/40, in which the Nitrocellulose/Cellulose mixture is immersed in melting TNT. Conducted research on the mechanical and physical-chemical properties of this mixture, specifically, the tensile strength 24 MPa; the relative elongation 3,4 %; the heat of explosion 530 cal/g; the autoignition temperature 196,7 ºC and the stability by methyl violet test at 134,5 ºC is 150 minutes.
