Some CL-20 based energetic cocrystals - A review

Abstract

There exists an inherent contradiction between the energy density and safety of energetic materials. To ameliorate and get an accord between energy and safety, cocrystallization seems to be a remedy which has been getting quite popular in the field of energetic materials. Energetic cocrystals represent one of the most important classes of research advances in the area of energetic materials. The cocrystallization significantly improves performance of energetic cocrystals, such as density, solubility, sensitivity, and thermal stability. This mini review summaries some of CL-20 based energetic cocrystals in terms of various aspects of them.
