Special Issue on Energetic Materials
Energetic materials are liquid or solid materials with a high
amount of available stored chemical energy. Common energetic materials include
propellants, explosives, pyrotechnic compositions, and other fuel/oxidizer
mixtures. Energetic materials are characterized by their sensitivity (the
ability to initiate a reaction from an energy stimulus) and reactivity
(propagation and effect characteristics after ignition).
In this special issue, we intend to invite
front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review
articles on exploring Energetic Materials. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
-
Typical classes of energetic materials, such
as explosives, pyrotechnic compositions, propellants, fuels/oxidizer mixtures
-
High-nitrogen energetic materials
-
Novel high-energy density materials
-
Ab initio molecular orbital and density
functional theory
-
Thermal decomposition and hazards testing
-
Detonation and/or deflagration processes
-
Rocket thermal protection materials
-
Combustion of energetic materials
-
Munitions use and demilitarization
-
Properties and reaction mechanisms
-
Theoretical modeling and design of new
energetic materials
-
Methods of improving the power and stability
of energetic materials
Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully
before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of
their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.
Please kindly specify the “Special Issue”
under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Energetic
Materials” should be selected during your submission.
