Chemistry Of High Energy Materials 2nd Edition

This book is based on a lecture course which has been given by the author for more than 10 years at the Ludwig-Maximilian University Munich (LMU) in the post-graduate Master lecture series, to introduce the reader to the chemistry of highly energetic materials. This book also reflects the research interests of the author. It was decided to entitle the book “Chemistry of High-Energy Materials” and not simply “Chemistry of Explosives” because we also wanted to include pyrotechnics, propellant charges and rocket propellants into the discussion. On purpose we do not give a comprehensive historical overview and we also refrained from extensive mathematical deductions. Instead we want to focus on the basics of chemical explosives and we want to provide an overview of recent developments in the research of energetic materials. 273 pg
