Abstract
A high energy propellant or explosive charge is prepared by compacting a normally pulverulent secondary high explosive, such as HMX or RDX, and retaining the pulverulent material packed as a coherent mass by means of a bridging agent capable of hydrogen bonding with the secondary explosive. The bridging agents used in this invention are characterized in their ability to hydrogen bond to the secondary explosive, their comparatively high intrinsic density, their solubility in a polar solvent, and their stereo compatibility with the secondary high explosive. The bridging agents are also characterized by the presence of at least two sites for hydrogen bonding comprised of hydroxyl or, carboxyl groups.
