Analysis on Recent Trends of Foreign Propellants and Explosives Technology Development

The major developments of new melt-cast explosive,green and safe manufacturing process of propellants and explosives,nitrogen-rich compouds,advanced charge technology of gun propellant and new concepts and new technology of propellants,and explosives were reviewed.Based on the developments of above,five recent trends in area of propellants and explosives were summarized and presented as follows: insensitive melt-cast explosive based on DNAN began to applied in US army,synthesis and manufacturing process technology of CL-20 was vigorous developing,research of nitrogen-rich compound synthesis was evolved rapidly,advanced layered propellant technology gradually reached maturity and would turned into application,as well as new concept and new technology of propellants and explosives achieved encouraging results with 23 conferences.
