The book contains ten chapters. Chapter 1 deals with classification
of propellants and explosives. Mechanism of thermal decomposition
of ammonium perchlorate (AP) has been given in Chapter 2. Synthesis
and characterisation of various types of nanomaterials such as
oxides, ferrites, cobaltites, oxalates, mono, bi and tri metals of
transition metals, and oxides of lanthanides have been discussed in
Chapter-3. These have been found to be potential thermal
decomposition and burning rate catalysts for AP and composite solid
propellants. The preparative methods for various types of
nanoenergetic compounds have been described in Chapter 4.
Thermolysis of various types of nitrate, perchlorate, and NTOate
salts has been discussed in Chapters 5-7. Preparation and
characterisation of transition, lanthanoids metal nitrate, and
perchlorate complexes with ligand of various amines have been
described in Chapters 8-10. In each group of compounds, the
structural properties of the individual compounds are determined by
gravimetric, IR and NMR studies. For those compounds which gave
crystals, X-ray crystallography technique was undertaken to
determine their structures. The results obtained from
thermoanalytical and kinetic investigations related to the thermal
decomposition, ignition/explosion and combustion of the compounds
have also been described. The author hopes this book will be of
interest to everyone involved with energetic materials irrespective
of their background. This will prove useful to the serious college
students as a text, to the engineers interested in the broad
aspects of aerospace, and as an introduction to the propulsion of
missiles or space vehicles. This book will be helpful to the people
working in R&D laboratories, Universities, Institutes,
Production agencies, Forensic laboratories, Armed forces (Army,
Navy and Air Force), Quality assurance, Homeland securities,
Chemical Industries etc. This book will be of immense use to
organisations dealing with the production of commercial explosives
and allied chemicals. It is hoped that this compilation of work
will serve to stimulate more interest and promote further progress
in the research into the properties and applications of these
family of compounds reported in this book.
