De Gruyter Energetic Materials Encyclopedia - O-Z Compendium

The Energetic Materials Encyclopedia by De Gruyter serves as a comprehensive compendium for researchers and scientists working with pure energetic materials. This specialized reference volume covers the range from O to Z, focusing on individual compounds rather than formulations. Each entry provides essential data points required for high-level chemical analysis and safety assessments. The text summarizes critical sensitivity parameters, including impact, friction, and electrostatic discharge (ESD) data. To assist with thermal stability studies, the encyclopedia includes melting points, decomposition temperatures, and thermodynamic enthalpies of formation. For those studying detonation performance, the volume provides density values for theoretical maximum density (TMD) and, where applicable, lower densities. This resource acts as a vital technical guide for understanding the physical and chemical properties of energetic compounds in a structured, easy-to-reference format.
