Textbook in PDF format Chemistry of High-Energy Materials continues in this new and revised 7th edition to provide fundamental scientific insights into primary and secondary explosives, propellants, rocket fuels and pyrotechnics. It expands with new research developments, including machine learning, new programs (e.g., RoseBoom), the production of propellants, supply of energetic materials in times of war, and flow chemistry. This work is of interest to advanced students in chemistry, materials science and engineering, as well as to all those working in military and defense technology. Revised, updated and extended content. Applications in military and civil fields are discussed. Recent research developments implemented for graduate level students. Introduction Classification of energetic materials Detonation, detonation velocity and detonation pressure Thermodynamics Initiation Experimental characterization of explosives Special aspects of explosives Correlation between the electrostatic potential and the impact sensitivity Design of novel energetic materials Synthesis of energetic materials Safe handling of energetic materials in the laboratory Energetic materials of the future Related topics Study questions Literature Appendix
