The shock-compression responses of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene)/Al granular composites subjected to planar shock waves of various pressures are investigated. A 57-mm diameter single-stage gas-gun and 50-mm diameter plane-wave lenses are employed to perform planar shock wave experiments. High frequency manganin piezoresistance stress gauges are used to monitor the stress (regarded as pressure in consideration of the high pressure state) at four Lagrangian positions of the PTFE/Al granular composites specimens. Planar shock wave experiments show characteristics of densification at measured input pressure of 0.5 GPa to 1.27 GPa using single-stage gas-gun and shockinduced reaction (SIR) indicated by growth of shock pressure and specific volume expansion at measured input pressure of 7.29 GPa to 12.25 GPa using plane-wave lenses. The pressure and relative volume states behind the shock wave front are calculated from the experimental recorded pressure profiles using Lagrangian analysis method, which are used to determine the reaction ratios under different shock pressures by comparing with partial reacted Hugoniot calculations. It was shown that the reaction ratios obtained in this research have good agreement with the thermochemical modeling calculations. The corresponding results indicate that the shock-induced reactions of PTFE/Al granular composites occur in the shock wave rising period and the reaction ratios are intimately related to the shock wave pressure.
