Liquid Explosives [Hardcover]

The book drawing on the authors nearly half a century of energetic materials research experience intends to systematically review the global researches on liquid explosives. The book focuses on the study of the conception, explosion mechanism, properties and preparation of liquid explosives. It provides a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical examples in a reader-friendly style. The book is likely to be interest of university researchers and graduate students in the fields of energetic materials, blasting engineering and mining.

Introduction.- Explosion characteristics of liquid explosives.-? Formula design of liquid explosives.- Nitroalkanes liquid explosives.- Nitrate esters liquid explosives.- Azides liquid explosives.- Mixed liquid explosives
Jiping Liu is a full-time professor in the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Beijing Institute of Technology, China. He mainly engages in preparation engineering of energetic materials and design of charge structure. He successfully developed the first light temporarily blinded bomb and heavy incendiary in the world, prepared 1, 3-diazido-propane and diazido neopentyl glycol dinitrate, and studied the formula, properties, and detonation characteristics of mononitrate, dinitrate, and mutiplenitrate esters and mixed liquid explosives. Meanwhile, he has finished several national research projects and had two books published about energetic materials. The honors he has earned for his research on energetic materials are listed as follows:
In 1979, was selected in Whos Who in The World of the United States because of developing propellants by extracting cellulose from Juncus effuses as the propellants fourth substitute in the world
During 1980 and 1983, won the Kunming Military Significant Scientific Achievement Award because of preparation of isooctanehexol hexnitrate
In 1991, earned the second prize of National Award for Technological InventionlÌ
