A systematic overview of melt cast explosives is given. The research on melt cast explosives over several decades can be divided into three broad areas: (i) aromatic compounds with CCH3, NCH3, OCH3 CNO2, NNO2 and ONO2 groups, (ii) improved synthesis of compounds, which are currently used in formulations or which have shown promise for such use and (iii) the preparation of melt cast formulations with various compositions. Exudation, high volume change from liquid to solid, super cooling, irreversible growth, fragility and unpredictable sensitivity are the disadvantages of existing melt cast formulations.
