Synthetic Manifestation of Polynitro Functionalized Azoles (Pyrazole/Imidazole/1,2,4-Oxadiazole) as Potential Energetic Materials

Abstract

This chapter narrates brief history of high energy materials origination and categorization of explosives, propellants and pyrotechnics. It is also discussed how high energy materials are applied to military, space, and civil purposes. Additionally, the role of azoles (N-heterocycles with five and six members) as energetic materials (EMs) is discussed. This thesis aims to develop thermally stable and insensitive EMs
