Abstract
This review discusses the recent advances in the syntheses of high explosive energetic materials. Syntheses of some relevant modern primary explosives and secondary high explosives, and the sensitivities and properties of these molecules are provided. In addition to the synthesis of such materials, processing improvement and formulating aspects using these ingredients, where applicable, are discussed in detail.
Highlights
There is an ever-increasing need for the development of new energetic materials for explosive applications
At the the IMX-104 formulation been for use, and it is being evaluated in the aforementioned munitions for use, and is being in the aforementioned munitions qualified for ituse, and itevaluated is being evaluated in the aforementioned munitions
The explosive performance of this compound appears to be very similar to RDX
Summary
There is an ever-increasing need for the development of new energetic materials for explosive applications. Primary explosives (or “primaries” as they are colloquially called) are defined as energetic materials that possess an exceptionally high initiation sensitivity to impact, friction, electrostatic discharge, heat, and shock. Secondary explosives (colloquially known as “secondaries”) differ from primaries in that they are much less sensitive to impact, friction, electrostatic discharge, heat, and shock Instead, they are intended to be initiated by the heat and shockwave generated from a detonating primary explosive charge. The field of explosives chemistry has existed for well over a century and produced a wealth of published compounds and their performance data, general literature reviews on explosive compounds [3,4,5] are relatively small in number and infrequently published To supplement this list, we seek to provide an overview of the more significant recent advances in the area of explosive molecules. This summary is by no means exhaustive, given the wide scope of the explosives field, and the topics covered will focus largely on relatively recently developed compounds which are thought to have the highest likelihood of seeing practical application in the future
