Thermal Decomposition and Combustion of Explosives and Propellants

This unique book investigates the synthesis, kinetics, and thermal decomposition properties and processing of energy-producing materials used in propellants, explosives, pyrotechnic, and gas-generating compositions.
Thermal Decomposition and Combustion of Explosives and Propellants provides several mechanisms and stages for the thermal deco
