'Introduction to the Technology of Explosives' is a clear and concise survey of the technologies and physical processes involved in explosive phenomena.

Written for manufacturers, laboratory pyrotechnicians, and lay students, this book contains an enormous amount of invaluable data on the properties and production of pyrotechnic materials, on heat and light production, on aerosols, energy, and noise. Includes a manufacturing formulary, and a good reference section. Its wealth of information and highly readable style make it a must have in every pyrotechnician s library. These titles may also pair well with these books: Brauer, Karl O., Handbook of Pyrotechnics: ISBN 978-0-8206-0349-0 Rev. Ronald Lancaster, Fireworks, Principles and Practice,...

The 5th revised edition expands on the basic chemistry of high-energy materials of the previous editions and examines new research developments, including plastic bonded explosives and melt-castable dinitrate esters. Applications in military and civil fields are discussed. This work is of interest to advanced students in chemistry, materials science and engineering, as well as to all those working in defense technology.
