“…The key properties for HEDMs include density ( ρ ), melting point ( T m ), decomposition temperature ( T d ), heat of formation (HOF), calculated detonation velocity ( D , calculated propagation velocity of detonation wave in explosive grain), calculated detonation pressure ( P , calculated pressure on the front of detonation wave), oxygen balance (OB, residual amount of oxygen when explosive explodes to produce CO 2 and H 2 O, OB = 16[ c- (2 a + b /2)]/ M for molecule C a H b O c N d ), specific impulse ( I sp , impulse produced by the unit quantity of propellant), content of nitrogen (N), impact sensitivity (IS, sensitivity of explosive to impact), friction sensitivity (FS, sensitivity of explosive to friction), electrostatic discharge sensitivity (ESD), and sensitivity of explosive to electrostatic discharge, etc. There are several standards a novel HEDM should meet if it would be applied widely, including insensitivity toward mechanical stimuli (heat, impact, fraction, and electrostatic discharge) to ensure the safety of operation, high performance for various purposes, less toxicity, and producing less hazardous waste after detonation [ 17 , 18 , 19 ]. Among them, conflict between the increasing energetic level and decreasing sensitivity has become more and more severe.…”
