Research progress and prospect of explosive crystallization (2022-present)

To meet the requirements of explosives in military and civilian fields, researchers are committed to improving the comprehensive performance of explosives. The performance of explosive crystals can be significantly improved by regulating the structure and morphology of single-compound explosive crystals as well as compounding explosive crystals. According to the related research on explosive crystals at home and abroad from 2022 to now, the development of explosive crystal composites and single-compound explosives' crystal morphology, particle size, and crystal form regulation study were reviewed. The explosive crystal composites encompass both the complex consisting of a single-compound explosive and the complex consisting of two separate types of explosives. Simultaneously, the main problems encountered in the development of explosive crystals were also analyzed, such as the deficiency of systematic and broadly applicable regulation methods and theories. Finally, the future development direction of explosive crystal research was envisioned, with the aim of providing guidance for the production, handling, and application of explosives.
