Low melting explosives

Abstract

This work studies low-melting explosives. It represents a comprehensive review of literature and an experimental study focused on promising low-melting energetic materials suitable for additive manufacturing. The aim was to identify and synthesise compounds with good thermal stability in the liquid phase, low melting point, and easy preparation. The compounds were characterised by physical properties that included density, melting point, differential thermal analysis, sensitivity to friction and impact. The thesis proposes suitable energetic materials that could contribute to the field of additive manufacturing of explosives.
