Thermal Decomposition and Combustion of Explosives and Propellants

By G.B. Manelis

Thermal Decomposition and Combustion of Explosives and Propellants investigates the synthesis, kinetics, thermal decomposition properties, and processing of energetic materials used in propellants, explosives, pyrotechnic, and gas-generating compositions. It examines the dependence of explosive activity on molecular structure, and uses applications to predict the stability, compatibility, and stabilization of explosives and propellant components. This book is a multi-dimensional resource for graduate students, researchers and professionals interested in chemical kinetics, the combustion and synthesis of high-energy materials, and the field of explosives, powders, and solid rocket propellants.
