« The 4th revised edition expands on the basic chemistry of high energy materials of the precious editions and examines new research developments, including hydrodynamics and ionic liquids. Applications in military and civil fields are discussed. This work is of interest to adva…
The recent introduction of the "nano" dimension to pyrotechnics has made it possible to develop a new family of highly reactive substances: nanothermites. These have a chemical composition that is comparable to that of thermites at submillimeter or micrometric granulometry, but …
An introduction to thermitic reactivity -- Characteristics of the metal-metal oxide reaction matrix -- Some thermodynamic concepts and considerations -- Applying thermodynamic concepts -- Additional topics -- Magnesium-oxidizer systems -- Titanium-oxidizer systems -- Zirconium-o…
"Thermites, generally considered to be mixtures of metals and metal oxides, are an important subset of energetic materials. Describing the results of calculations on 800 possible combinations of metal and metal oxide reactants, this practical overview will serve those in energet…
