Davis Tenney L., The Chemistry of Powder and Explosives

Wiley, 2010 There are several books dealing with explosives, propellants and pyrotechnics, but much of the latest information on High Energy Materials (HEMs) of recent origin is scattered in the literature as research/review papers. This book is the ?rst of its kind in which the knowledge on materials hitherto accumulated over the past 50 years in the literature has been carefully blended with latest developments in advanced materials, and...

John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2007. – 384 p. In the past a significant amount of research worldwide was directed at the synthesis of new energetic compounds as potential explosives or propellant ingredients. This research involved the synthesis of many different classes of energetic compounds, including heterocycles, nitrohydrocarbons, nitrate esters, nitramines and caged compounds. The research in this area has been reviewed many times in the past...

Published by the Royal Society of Chemistry; Information Services; ISBN 0-85404-563-5. This book outlines the basic principles needed to understand the mechanism of explosions by chemical explosives. The history, theory and chemical types of explosives are introduced. Thermodynamics, enthalpy, free energy and gas equations are covered so that a basic understanding of the chemistry of explosives is underlined.This book is aimed primarily at "A"lev...
