Book excerpt: A further development of the procedure based on pyrolysis-gas chromatography (Py-GC) for the characterization of plastic bonded explosives (PBX's) is described. After grinding, the PBX samples were pressed on a pyrolysis wire followed by Py-GC analysis. The peak areas obtained were normalized and submitted to multivariate data analysis. The use of principal component analysis (PCA) was tested on 5 samples which differed slightly in composition and age. The results were promising and showed that PCA is a powerful tool for the differentiation between PBX samples. The pressure by which the samples were pressed on the pyrolysis wire appeared to be an important parameter. This parameter was optimized together with the pyrolysis temperature and the amount of sample. The optimization experiment was carried out with 2 PBX samples which differed only in crosslink density. It turned out that it was difficult to find optima in the parameters resulting in a maximal difference between the 2 samples. The following settings of the parameters were selected: 5.2 tonnes, 75 mg and 610 C.
