The Chemistry of Explosives
This concise, easy-to-read book outlines the basic principles needed to understand the chemical mechanisms of explosion. This edition includes environmental legislation and its impact on explosives, together with a section on safety hazard tests. Written for students with no previous knowledge of explosives but some understanding of chemical reactions in mind, it takes the reader through the history of explosives and introduces the concepts of high explosives, propellants and pyrotechnics.Covering combustion, deflagration, and detonation; ignition, initiation, and thermal decomposition; thermochemistry, thermodynamics and kinetics, the text includes detailed formulations and reactions presented with thermochemical calculations to aid understanding.
It also contains the latest developments in synthesis and manufacturing of explosives.Covering all aspects of the
