Preface to this 5th English edition
Everything which has been said in the preface to the first German, as well as in
the first to fourth English editions still holds true, and essentially does not need
any addition or correction. In this revised fifth edition in English, the manuscript
has been updated and various recent aspects of energetic materials have been
added:
(i) Someerrorswhichwereunfortunatelypresentinthefourtheditionhavebeen
correctedandthereferenceshavealsobeenupdatedwhereappropriate.
(ii) Chapters on the critical diameter, colored smokes, delay compositions, sensi-
tivities, gun erosion, TKX-50, liners, thermobaric weapons and nitrocellulose
havebeenupdated.
(iii)FournewchaptersonAging(6.7),AirBags(13.6),SpentAcid(10.4)andToxici-
tyMeasurements(13.7)havebeenadded.
In addition to the people thanked in the German and first four English editions,
theauthorwouldliketothankDr.ManfredBohn(ICT),Dr.JohannGlück(ZF),Dr.
PaulWanninger(PWX),Mr.MoritzMühlemann(BIAZZI),Mr.MarcelHoller(Bayern
Chemie), Ms. Cornelia Unger (LMU) and Ms. Teresa Küblböck (LMU) for many in-
spireddiscussions.

Preface to the 3rd English edition
Everything which has been said in the preface to the first German and first and
second English editions still holds and essentially does not need any addition or
correction. In this revised third edition in English the manuscript has been up-
datedandvariousrecentaspectsofenergeticmaterialshavebeenadded:
(i) someerrorswhichunfortunatelyoccurredinthefirstandsecondeditionshave
beencorrectedandthereferenceshavealsobeenupdatedwhereappropriate.
(ii) The chapters on critical diameters, delay compositions, visible light (blue)
pyrotechnics,polymer-bondedexplosives(PBX),HNS,thermodynamiccalcula-
tions,DNAN,smoke(yellow)formulationsandhigh-nitrogencompoundshave
beenupdated.
(iii)Five new short chapters on Ignition and Initiation (chapters 5.2 and 5.3), the
Plate Dent Test (chapter 7.4), Underwater Explosions (chapter 7.5) and the
TrauzlTest(chapter6.6)havebeenadded.
In addition to the people thanked in the German and first and second English
editions,theauthorwouldliketothankDr.VladimirGolubevandTomaszWitkow-
