The Chemistry of Explosives provides an overview of the history
of explosives, taking the reader to future developments. The text
on the classification of explosive materials contains much data
on the physical parameters of primary and secondary explosives.
The explosive processes of deflagration and detonation, including
the theory of 'hotspots' for the detonation process, are
introduced and many examples are provided in the detailed
description on the thermochemistry of explosives. New material
includes coverage of the latest explosive compositions, such as
high temperature explosives, nitrocubanes, energetic polymers,
plasticizers and insensitive munitions (IM).

This concise, readable book is ideal for 'A' level students and
new graduates with no previous knowledge of explosive materials.
With detailed information on a vast range of explosives in
tabular form and an extensive bibliography, this book will also
be useful to anyone needing succinct information on the subject.
