Computer code for the optimization of performance parameters of mixed explosive formulations

MATEO: A software package for the molecular design of energetic materials

“…No such software has been reported yet. However, it is of interest to compare MATEO with two recent programs, LOTUSES [14][15][16][17] and EDPHT [18], also aimed at providing chemists with efficient tools to assess target molecules as potential energetic compounds.…”

Synthesis and characterization of 3,6-bis(1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazol-5-ylamino)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (BTATz): Novel high-nitrogen content insensitive high energy material

“…The theoretical performance data of the BTATz and TADPTz were generated using the Linear Output Thermodynamic User-friendly Software for Energetic Systems (LOTUSES) [20,21]. The predicted volume of gaseous products for BTATz is 1237 l/kg of explosive compared to 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane (RDX, 957 l/kg), which can be used as potential gas generator.…”

Computer code to predict the heat of explosion of high energy materials

“…In addition to thermodynamic parameters such as heat of explosion, heat of formation it also predicts performance parameters of HEMs such as velocity of detonation, CJ Pressure, density, relative strength, power index, etc. [21][22][23][24][25]. The output of the programme can be directly printed (attached to the standalone PC or LAN) as well as stored in various formats (.txt, .html, .doc, .xls, .pdf).…”
