This text demonstrates how the science of energetic materials technology can and should link various technologies in the physical sciences to provide an integrated approach. It includes physics, chemistry, materials science, theory and modelling, and will help the discipline to adapt to future needs and research. The text provides a coherent and detailed study of what is now possible and indeed necessary for effective solutions for present and future needs in energetic materials and systems. Energetics technology is a fragmented research area and there is a strong need for a book that provides an interdisciplinary view and introduces the topics along with the connections between them. This book meets this need, encourages interdisciplinary research in the field and is an invaluable reference for researchers in the area of energetic materials.

Key Features:

This book focuses on the combustion performance and application of innovative energetic materials for solid and hybrid space rocket propulsion. It provides a comprehensive overview of advanced technologies in the field of innovative energetic materials and combustion performance, introduces methods of modeling and diagnosing the aggregation/agglomeration of active energetic metal materials in solid propellants, and investigates the potential applications of innovative energetic materials in solid and hybrid propulsion. In addition, it also provides step-by-step solutions for sample problems to help readers gain a good understanding of combustion performance and potential applications of innovative energetic materials in space propulsion. This book serves as an excellent resource for researchers and engineers in the field of propellants, explosives, and pyrotechnics.
