Energetic materials are substances that contain high levels of stored energy that can be released rapidly in the form of heat, light, sound, or pressure. These materials are used in a variety of applications, including explosives, propellants, pyrotechnics, and rocket fuels. Research in this area is focused on understanding the behavior and properties of energetic materials, developing new formulations with improved performance and safety characteristics, and investigating their potential applications in defense, aerospace, and other industries. The study of energetic materials involves a range of disciplines, including chemistry, physics, materials science, and engineering.
