Green Energetic Materials

"Since the end of the 20th century it has been increasingly realised that the use, or production, of many energetic materials leads to the release of substances which are harmful to both humans and the environment. To address this, the principles of green chemistry can be applied to the design of new products and their manufacturing processes, to create green energetic materials that are virtually free of environmental hazards and toxicity issues during manufacturing, storage, use and disposal. Active research is underway to develop new ingredients and formulations, green synthetic methods a."@en
"This book provides a detailed account of the most recent research and developments in green chemistry, including green pyrotechnics, explosives and propellants. Topics include: theoretical design of green energetic materials; development of green pyrotechnics; green primary and secondary explosives; oxidizers and binder materials for green propellants; environmentally sustainable manufacturing technologies for energetic materials; electrochemical methods for synthesis of energetic materials and waste remediation. This is a valuable resource for academic, industrial and governmental researchers working on the development of energetic materials, for both military and civilian applications. --"
