TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on pyrotechnics that are a mixture of a solid fuel and an oxidant and are capable of self-sustaining combustion even in the absence of air.
Abstract: This chapter focuses on pyrotechnics that is a mixture of a solid fuel and an oxidant and is capable of self-sustaining combustion even in the absence of air. Pyrotechnics, together with explosives and propellants, make up the trio of high-energy materials. The distinction between these materials is associated with the nature of the combustion process. Thermal analysis studies have as their ultimate goal in understanding the combustion process. Techniques which have been used include differential thermal analysis (DTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), modulated temperature DSC (MTDSC), thermogravimetry (TG), evolved gas analysis (EGA), thermomicroscopy, and a variety of simultaneous techniques. Thermal analysis has greatest impact on the understanding of chemistry of gasless pyrotechnics. The identification of the nature of the products of pyrotechnic reactions forms an important part of thermal analysis studies. Optical and scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and mass spectrometry are used in the chapter.
