Summary and Conclusions; Acknowledgments; References N2 - Few books cover experimental and theoretical methods to characterize decomposition, combustion and detonation of energetic materials. This volume, by internationally known and major contributors to the field, is unique because it summarizes the most important recent work, what we know with confidence, and what main areas remain to be investigated. Most chapters comprise summaries of work spanning decades and contain expert commentary available nowhere else. Although energetic materials are its focus, this book provides a guide to modern methods for investigations of condensed and gas-phase rea UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=514725 ER -
