About this book

The 5th revised edition expands on the basic chemistry of high-energy materials of the previous editions and examines new research developments, including plastic bonded explosives and melt-castable dinitrate esters. Applications in military and civil fields are discussed. This work is of interest to advanced students in chemistry, materials science and engineering, as well as to all those working in defense technology.

  • Revised and updated content, including new study problems and questions.
  • Recent research developments implemented for graduate level students.
  • Intended for advanced students in chemistry, materials science, engineering and defense technology.

    • Author / Editor information

    Prof. Dr. Thomas M. Klapötke, LMU Munich, Germany.
