Objectives

This International Symposium has several major objectives:

  1. to promote communication between researchers, designers, and manufacturers regarding state-of-the-art approaches in the field of energetic materials, like propellants, explosives, and fuel or oxidizer ingredients;  
  2. to discuss new and improved safety techniques in the combustion of energetic materials; and 
  3. to recommend future directions for research in combustion and chemical reaction systems. 
     

The Symposium will also address several pressing global issues: 

  1. the resolution of environmental issues in the combustion of energetic materials;
  2. the need for economical utilization of finite fuel resources;
  3. the production of power using existing or newly synthesized energetic materials; and
  4. the development of adequate techniques for disposal of surplus propellants and explosives for demilitarization purposes.
