ENERGETIC MATERIALS GEBUNDEN

This book offers a comprehensive account of energetic materials  including their synthesis 
computational modeling  applications  associated degradation mechanisms  environmental
consequences and fate and transport. This multi-author contributed volume describes how armed
forces around the world are moving their attention from legacy explosive compounds  which are
heat and shock sensitive (thus posing greater challenges in terms of handling and storage)  to
the insensitive munitions compounds formulations such as insensitive munitions explosive (IMX)
and the Picatinny Arsenal Explosive (PAX) series of compounds. The description of energetic
materials focuses on explosives  pyrotechnic compositions  and propellants. The contributors go
on to explain how modern generation energetic compounds must be insensitive to shock and heat
but at the same time yield more energy upon explosion. Nanoinspired and or co-crystallized
energetic materials offer another route to generate next-generation energetic materials  and
this authoritative book bridges a large gap in the literature by providing a comprehensive
analysis of these compounds. Additionally  it includes a valuable overview of energetic
materials  a detailed discussion of recent advances on future energetic compounds 
nanotechnology in energetic materials  environmental contamination and toxicity  assessment of
munitions lethality  the application quantitative structure¿activity relationship (QSAR) in
design of energetics and the fate and transport of munition compounds in the environment.
