New in the Second Edition:
- Revised and updated text
- New treatments of ionic liquids, boron-containing dyes, metal-free primary explosives, nitrogen-rich MTV-flares (patent protected until now), and co-crystallization, among others
- New study problems and questions
Aims and Scope
This graduate-level textbook in a new revised edition treats the basic chemistry of high energy materials - primary and secondary explosives, propellants, rocket fuel and pyrotechnics - and provides a review of new research developments. Applications in both military and civil fields are discussed. The book also offers new insights into "green" chemistry requirements and strategies for military applications. This work should be of interest to advanced students in chemistry, materials science and engineering, as well as all those working in defense technology.
