Recent Advances in Safe Synthesis of Energetic Materials: An Overview

详细

The development of novel energetic materials with highest possible performance is of current interest. Synthesis of such materials is performed at various stages of pilot plant production all over the world. However, their synthesis involves hazardous production processes. This paper discusses relatively safe and eco-friendly approaches and techniques such as microwave technology and the use of ionic liquids for the synthesis of high-performance energetic materials that can be used as explosives and propellants. In addition, the use of dinitrogen pentoxide as an efficient nitrating agent for the synthesis of energetic materials is considered.
