Objectives
This International Symposium has several major objectives :
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; to discuss new and improved safety techniques in the combustion of energetic materials; and to recommend future directions for research in combustion and chemical reaction systems.
The Symposium will also address several pressing global issues :
the resolution of environmental issues in the combustion of energetic materials; the need for economical utilization of finite fuel resources; the production of power using existing or newly synthesized energetic materials; and the development of adequate techniques for disposal of surplus propellants and explosives for demilitarization purposes.
