Chapter 1 Introduction to Explosives and Propellants

1 Polymers as Binders and Plasticizers – Historical Perspective

Ever since the introduction of nitrocellulose (NC) as an explosive fill in the 1850s, polymers have contributed considerably to advancements in the technology of both propellants and explosives. In addition to the specific instance of the use of NC polymer in explosive fills, applications of polymers have been most extensive in binders andplasticizers.Over the years,with thematurity of composit...

Efficiency of perchlorate consumption in road flares, propellants and explosives.

When an explosive detonates or a propellant or flare burns, consumption of the energetic filler should be complete but rarely is, especially in the presence of large amounts of non-combustible materials. Herein we examine three types of perchlorate-containing devices to estimate their potential as sources of contamination in their normal mode of functioning. Road flares, rocket propellants and ...

FINAL REPORT Lanthanide-Containing Cyclophanes for the Detection of Explosives and Propellants

معرفی نمک‌های پرانرژی از دسته تترازول N- اکسید به عنوان مواد منفجره سبز

Promote chemical technologies is an innovation that reduce or eliminate use or production of hazardous materials in the design, manufacture and use of chemical products. According to this law, reduce pollution at source is fundamentally different and more desirable than waste management and pollution control. Nowadays, this new approach known as green chemistry, which is: The design of chemical...

Chemical Characterisation of Nitrocellulose Kim Aarseth Larsson 2015 - 01 - 09 Supervisor : Bert

Nitrocellulose is the main component in many types of ammunition, propellants and explosives. The principles of production for nitrocellulose have not changed much since the 19 th century when it started being industrially produced for this purpose. The character of the nitrocellulose has a large effect on the end products abilities. The aim of this study was to develop a method that would be a...
