Abstract
Abstract In designing new explosives, a key goal is to achieve an optimum balance between two inherently contradictory objectives: a high level of detonation performance and low sensitivity to accidental initiation of detonation. There appears to be a reasonably good understanding of the determinants of detonation performance, and there are procedures available for quantitative predictions of satisfactory reliability. The situation regarding sensitivity is more complex. However, progress has been made in identifying at least some of the factors that are involved. It is accordingly possible to propose a series of structural features that can be guidelines in the quest for excellent detonation performance combined with low sensitivity.
