Penta refers to the five carbon atoms of the neopentane skeleton. PETN is one of the most powerful explosive materials known, with a relative effectiveness factor of 1.66.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=PETN (Pentaerythritol tetranitrate) )〕 When mixed with a plasticizer, PETN forms a plastic explosive. As a mixture with RDX and other minor additives, it forms another plastic explosive called Semtex. PETN is also used as a vasodilator drug to treat certain heart conditions, such as for management of angina. ==History== Pentaerythritol tetranitrate was first prepared and patented in 1894 by the explosives manufacturer Rheinisch-Westfälische Sprengstoff A.G. of Cologne, Germany.〔See: * Deutsches Reichspatent 81,664 (1894). * Bruno Thieme, ("Process of making nitropentaerythrit," ) U.S. patent no. 541,899 (filed: November 13, 1894 ; issued: July 2, 1895). * Peter O. K. Krehl, ''History of Shock Waves, Explosions and Impact'' ... (Berlin, Germany: Springer-Verlag, 2009), (p. 405 ). * Tadeusz Urbański with Władysław Ornaf and Sylvia Laverton, trans., ''Chemistry and Technology of Explosives'', vol. 2 (Oxford, England: Permagon Press, 1965), (p. 175. ) 〕 The production of PETN started in 1912, when the improved method of production was patented by the German government. PETN was used by the German Military in .〔See: *German Patent 265,025 (1912) *〕 It was also used in the MG FF/M autocannons and many other weapon systems of the Luftwaffe in World War II, specifically in the high explosive "Minengeschoß" shell. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pentaerythritol tetranitrate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
