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.
