Study resources
- Explosives and its Classification (SlideShare) (Article) — Covers definition, low vs high explosives, primary/secondary, binary, plastic explosives and dynamites, and where TNT and RDX sit in that classification.
- Forensic Chemistry - Explosives (SlideShare) (Article) — Explains deflagration vs detonation and the basis of classification (sensitivity, velocity, composition). Good for the theory half of the question.
- CLU-IN (US EPA-supported) - Explosives characterisation (Article) — Authoritative short page explaining that TNT is a nitroaromatic and RDX a nitramine, and how melt-cast vs plastic-bonded explosives differ. Useful for the 'classification' part.
