If you have a question about this talk, please contact Stephen Walley.

The talk will illustrate how both the crystal structures and molecular conformations of energetic materials (explosives and propellants) can be modified using elevated pressures and through co-crystallisation with other molecules. These studies provide a means not only of understanding how these materials respond to the extreme conditions experienced during detonation, but also provide a route to the discovery and isolation of new crystalline forms with enhanced properties.
