%0 Journal Article %T Calculation of the Density and Detonation Properties of C, H, N, O and F Compounds: Use in the Design and Synthesis of New Energetic Materials %A Willer %A Rodney L. %J Journal of the Mexican Chemical Society %D 2009 %I Sociedad Qu¨ªmica de M¨¦xico %X the estimation of the density and detonation properties of c, h, n, o, f explosives is discussed. a simple computer program, "energy", first developed at the naval weapons center-china lake in the early 1980's is presented in an updated form. this program allows the rapid calculation of the estimated properties of both known and hypothetical energetic materials. a review of the use of this program in the synthesis of new energetic materials is given. %K density %K detonation pressure %K detonation velocity %K specific impulse %K energetic materials %K synthesis %K energetic polymers %K cubanes %K nitramines %K furazans %K tetrazoles. %U http://www.scielo.org.mx/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S1870-249X2009000300005&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
