Abstract
A number of new high-energy materials have been reported in the litera ture in recent years. This review paper examines them under several he adings (''thermally stable'' or ''heat-resistant'', ''high-performance '', melt-castable, insensitive, energetic binders, and energetic mater ials synthesized using N2O5) and critically examines them from the poi nt of view of stability, reliability, safety and specific application. Problems associated with their processing are identified and suggesti ons are made to overcome them. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
