Abstract
The objective of this paper is to provide fundamental information on the subject of high explosives not only to the explosive scientist but also to the chemical engineer. Technologies for the development of high explosives are divided into 5 areas: (1) synthesis of new energetics, (2) preparation of functional explosives, (3) formulation study of plastic bonded explosives, (4) application of high explosives to munitions, (5) demilitarization process. This paper outlines the basic technologies need to understand the high explosives.
