High-energy materials

High-energy materials are chemical compounds designed to store significant amounts of energy that can be rapidly released through a controlled reaction. They are commonly used in explosives, propellants, and pyrotechnics, where their ability to produce a sudden release of gases and heat is critical. These materials are crafted to ensure stability under normal conditions but react quickly when triggered, providing the necessary force or propulsion. Their development involves careful balancing of energy content and safety to prevent accidental detonation while maximizing performance in applications like aerospace, military, and mining.
