Abstract
The hot plate test is commonly used to determine first order activatio n energies for energetic material. It is demonstrated that the results of this test depend significantly on the conductivity of the hot plat e. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the interface between the hot plate and the energetic material also plays a significant role in the activation energies and ignition temperatures obtained using this meth od.
