Abstract

The objective of this paper is to provide fundamental information on the subject of high explosives not only to the explosive scientist but also to the chemical engineer. Technologies for the development of high explosives are divided into 5 areas: (1) synthesis of new energetics, (2) preparation of functional explosives, (3) formulation study of plastic bonded explosives, (4) application of high explosives to munitions, (5) demilitarization process. This paper outlines the basic technologies need to understand the high explosives.

이 논문은 화약연구 종사자는 물론 화학공학자들에게 고폭화약에 대한 기본적인 정보를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다. 고폭화약 연구를 기술 분야별로 (1) 신규 에너지물질의 합성, (2) 기능성 화약 제조, (3) 복합화약 조성개발, (4) 무기체계 적용성 연구, (5) 군용 물질 해체 공정 등으로 대별하여, 고폭화약 연구의 이해를 위해 필요한 기본적인 기술분야에 대해 소개한다.
