Preface. As the first book on Liquid Explosives, this book, covering part of the author’s achievements on energetic materials in the past about half a century, presents the results of a wide range of research fields with abundant information and valuable practicality. It also reviews the development of liquid explosives for the first time over the world and focuses on the latest research findings of the explosion mechanism, properties, and preparation process of liquid explosives. Different from the detonation of condensed explosives, liquid explosives show distinct features to easily form under-compressed detonation. The charging and application of liquid explosives are not influenced by geographical conditions, local topographic feature, and land features. Thus, the application range of liquid explosives is considerably wide. The first word that pops up in the mind would be war, or national-defense, while talking about liquid explosives. The truth is that military use accounts for only a small part. Liquid explosives have been widely used in aerospace, sounding rockets, communications satellites, transportation, mining, construction, seismic prospecting, mineral exploration, channelization, underground blasting, underwater bursting, and channel development. The propellant is the main component of liquid explosives that mainly consist of nitrate ester, perchlorates, hydrazines, or hydrogen peroxide. To understand the basic properties of these materials is important to optimize the performances of liquid energetic materials, including energy levels, combustion behavior, detonation characteristics, stability, processing characteristics, service characteristics, and prolonging storage period. The materials to prepare liquid explosives are well known. Thus, by using the information of technique process, the formulation of liquid explosives can be precisely adjusted to achieve optimized explosion strength and performance. Further improvement of charging conditions and application range would maximize the energy of liquid explosives. ...
