TL;DR: A less sensitive explosive, 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) has a crystal density of 1.93 g/cm 3 and calculated detonation velocity and pressure equivalent to those of RDX as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: A less sensitive explosive, 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one. The compound 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) has a crystal density of 1.93 g/cm 3 and calculated detonation velocity and pressure equivalent to those of RDX. It can be prepared in high yield from inexpensive starting materials in a safe synthesis. Results from initial small-scale sensitivity tests indicate that NTO is less sensitive than RDX and HMX in all respects. A 4.13 cm diameter, unconfined plate-dent test at 92% of crystal density gave the detonation pressure predicted for NTO by the BKW calculation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented new vapor pressure data for RDX, PETN, TNT, nitroglycerin, and ammonium nitrate for a wide range of temperatures.
Abstract: New vapor pressure data is presented for RDX, PETN, TNT, nitroglycerin, and ammonium nitrate. By comparison with the data of previous workers, it has been possible to calculate global vapor pressure expressions which are valid over a wide range of temperatures.

TL;DR: The synthesis and properties of several new energetic 1,2,4,5-tetrazine derivatives were described in this paper, including 3,6-dihydrazino-1, 2,2.4, 5, and 1.5 tetrazines with energetic substituents.
Abstract: The synthesis and properties of several new energetic 1,2,4,5-tetrazine derivatives are described. These include energetic salts of 3,6-dihydrazino-1,2,4,5-tetrazine and several symmetrically and unsymmetrically substituted tetrazines with energetic substituents, in addition to a new nitro-tetrazine.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of additives like oxides, cations, inorganic acids, organic compounds, phase-stablized CuO, etc., on the thermal decomposition of ammonium nitrate is discussed.
Abstract: In this review data from the literature on thermal decomposition of ammonium nitrate (AN) and the effect of additives to their thermal decomposition are summarized. The effect of additives like oxides, cations, inorganic acids, organic compounds, phase-stablized CuO, etc., is discussed. The effect of an additive mainly occurs at the exothermic peak of pure AN in a temperature range of 200°C to 140°C.

TL;DR: The preparation and properties of three unique high-nitrogen materials based on the anion azotetrazolate are described in this article, which have possible applications as explosives, pyrotechnics, gas generants and low signature propellants.
Abstract: The preparation and properties of three unique high-nitrogen materials based on the anion azotetrazolate are described. Cations examined were the ammonium, guanidinium and triaminoguanidinium. These compounds are unique in their gas generating ability with little or no smoke or residue produced. These materials have possible applications as explosives, pyrotechnics, gas generants and low signature propellants.
