The promulgation of new government regulations places new and more stringent restrictions on the materials that may be used in energetic mixtures. These regulations now mandate numerous training programs  and initiate other actions  such as OSHAs Process Safety Management standard  intended to eliminate accidents and incidents. Unfortunately  the US lacks an organized  broad-range academic program to cover the science and use of energetic materials and educate the next generation of pyrotechnicians.  Designed as a bridge to allow a smooth and confident transition for personnel coming from a chemistry background into the practical world of explosives  Chemistry of Pyrotechnics: Basic Principles and Theory  Second Edition emphasizes basic chemical principles alongside practical  hands-on knowledge in the preparation of energetic mixtures. It examines the interactions between and adaptations of pyrotechnics to changing technology in areas such as obscuration science and low-signature flame emission.  Much more than a simple how-to guide  the book discusses chemical and pyrotechnic principles  components of high-energy mixtures  and elements of ignition  propagation  and sensitivity. It offers heat compositions  including ignition mixes  delays  thermites  and propellants and investigates the production of smoke and sound as well as light and color.  Promoting the growth and expansion of pyrotechnics as a science  Chemistry of Pyrotechnics: Basic Principles and Theory  Second Edition provides practitioners with the ability to apply chemical principles and logic to energetic materials and thereby make the field as productive  useful  and safe as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67930238582837,"sku":"ByrdShop_1574447408","price":591.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781574447408_b7fc7dae-a176-48f1-b088-50e4f1b32054.jpg?v=1794207794","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/chemistry-of-pyrotechnics-basic-principles-and-theory-second-edition-9781574447408","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
