A review of advanced high performance, insensitive and thermally stable energetic materials emerging for military and space applications

A K Sikder et al. J Hazard Mater. .

Abstract

Energetic materials used extensively both for civil and military applications. There are continuous research programmes worldwide to develop new materials with higher performance and enhanced insensitivity to thermal or shock insults than the existing ones in order to meet the requirements of future military and space applications. This review concentrates on recent advances in syntheses, potential formulations and space applications of potential compounds with respect to safety, performance and stability.
