This is the first comprehensive overview of this topic. It serves
as a single source for information about the properties,
preparation, and uses of all relevant primary explosives. The first
chapter provides background such as the basics of initiation and
differences between requirements on primary explosives used in
detonators and igniters. The authors then clarify the influence of
physical characteristics on explosive properties, focusing on those
properties required for primary explosives. Furthermore, the issue
of sensitivity is discussed. All the chapters on particular groups
of primary explosives are structured in the same way, including
introduction, physical and chemical properties, explosive
properties, preparation and documented use. The authors thoroughly
verified all data and information. A unique feature of this book
are original microscopic images of some explosives.
