Sinopsis
Essential chemistry for understanding explosive power and safety Discover the foundational ideas behind military explosives and how chemists explain their behavior in real-world use.
This edition compiles a practical overview of the principles of chemistry as they relate to explosive materials. It combines simple explanations with laboratory demonstrations and notes on how these ideas apply to equipment, storage, and handling in the field. The text also surveys the substances commonly used to make explosives and outlines the rules governing their use and transport.
- Learn the core forms of matter, basic reactions, and the law of stoichiometry in accessible terms.
- Explore substances essential to explosives, from nitrates to charcoal and organic compounds.
- Understand safety, storage, and handling practices, including general precautions for high explosives.
- See how explosions are studied through service tests and the implications for field use.
Ideal for readers of historical military science, engineering students, and professionals seeking a grounded, non-speculative view of explosive chemistry and its practical applications in the early 20th century.

Reseña del editor
Notes on Military Explosives has given an opportunity to bring them up-todate and to include such changes bearing upon the manufacture, use, storage, and transportation of military explosives as have developed during the last four years. It has particularly given the opportunity to introduce certain changes that have developed in connection with the European war. The more important of these latter changes have been the substitution of wood pulp for cotton in the manufacture of the nitrocellulose explosives, and the fixation of the nitrogen of the air by the three separate processes which are now iployed. Both of these important changes have been due to the ingenuity, cleverness, and skill of the German chemists. Generally speaking, there have been no new explosives introduced, and it would seem that in the matter of explosives the field is limited, apparently somewhat definitely, to the nitrocellulose series, the nitroglycerin series, the nitrobenzene series, the alkaline-metallic nitrate mixtures, and to a combination of two or more of these with the others. The great propellent explosive for guns continues to be nitrocellulose, alone or in combination with nitroglycerin. The explosive for charging shells appears to have been quite definitely reduced to picric acid or some derivative thereof; that for submarine mines and torpedoes to trinitrotoluol or guncotton. As to the old nitrate mixtures, they appear to be limited to hand grenades, rockets, and pyrotechnics. There has been inserted in the appendix of this edition a discussion of The Role of Chemistry in the War by Allerton S. Cushman, Ph. D., Director of the Institute of Industrial
