Energetic Materials - Analysis, Diagnostics and Testing

These are presentation and poster session papers presented at the 31st International Annual Conference of Fraunhofer-Institut fur Chemische Technologie (ICT). June 27 - June 30, 2000, Karlsruhe, Federal Republic of Germany. – 1383 p.In recent years the technical progress in synthesis, processing and application of energetic materials was positively influenced by advanced analytical methods, diagnostics and measuring techniques. Efficient screening methods, new censoring techniques and combinatorial approaches are examples for analytical strategies making accurate data available and allowing their fast evaluation. The conference objectives include the investigation and characterization of energetic materials by analytical methods, the improvement of existing measuring techniques and the development of new analytical methods and strategies.Contents:
