Abstract

The goal of this research project was to establish a literature known explosive, which can be used as a future melt-cast explosive. The substance should not only be theoretically suitable as a substitute but also meet all industrially relevant requirements. Therefore, intensive literature research was executed to filter appropriate candidates. The three most promising substances were re-synthesized to verify their key properties. If all criteria meet the requirements, synthesis optimization and preindustrial upscaling should be carried out.
