high explosives, propellants and pyrotechnics. Covering combustion,
deflagration, and detonation; ignition, initiation, and thermal
decomposition; thermochemistry, thermodynamics and kinetics, the
text includes detailed formulations and reactions presented with
thermochemical calculations to aid understanding. This edition
includes environmental legislation and its impact on explosives,
together with a section on safety hazard tests. It also contains
the latest developments in synthesis and manufacturing of
explosives. Covering all aspects of the properties of explosives,
The Chemistry of Explosives is a unique text which introduces
difficult subjects in a readable manner. Ideal for A-level students
and new graduates with no previous knowledge of explosive
materials, it will also be useful to anyone needing succinct
information on the subject, such as the more experienced chemist in
