Abstract
A review, without refs. on applied research work in Fraunhofer Institute for Chem. Technol., Germany, on insensitive, high-performance, chem. energetic materials. Research includes selection of constituents and components, characterization of products and components, new pre-products, combustion expts., and disposal of high explosives. Products such as solid rocket propellants and gas generators, gun propellants including caseless ammunition and combustible cases, explosives, and new types of chem. energetic materials can only be developed efficiently if, simulations of their property spectrum take place simultaneously with regard to requirements for use, service life, quality and disposal.
