Journal of Energetic Materials

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Energetic Materials fills the need for an international forum of scientific and technical interchange in the disciplines of explosives, propellants, and pyrotechnics.

It is a refereed publication which is published quarterly.

Molecular orbital calculations, synthetic and analytical chemistry, formulation, ignition and detonation properties, thermal decomposition, hazards testing, biotechnology, and toxicological and environmental aspects of energetic materials production are appropriate subjects for articles submitted to the Journal.
