New Trends in Research of Energetic Materials
Description:
The twenty first consecutive Seminar on new trends in research of energetic materials is intended to be a world meeting of young people and university teachers working in the fields of teaching, research, development, processing, analyzing and application of all kinds of energetic materials. This Seminar also covers explosions in gaseous, dispersed and condensed systems. It is not aimed only at the exchange of professional information but also at creating a pleasant meeting where young specialists from different countries have the opportunity to meet and gain personal contacts. Papers should not only describe research work, but should also demonstrate awareness of the context and background for the research. The intention of this meeting is to provide pleasant and welcoming atmosphere where exchange of professional experiences goes along with building of strong personal relations among young specialists working in the field of EM.

Gordon Research Conference on Energetic Materials
Description:
The 2018 Gordon Research Conference on Energetic Materials "Exploiting advances in additively-manufactured, nano- and non-crystalline materials, synthetic methods, modeling and simulation, and in situ diagnostics for energetic materials" promises to be a stimulating venue for open discussions of cutting edge research among a diverse group of early-career and established scientists who are dedicated to understanding the properties and behavior of energetic materials. This Gordon Research Conference will have a particular focus on highlighting emerging and innovative experimental and theoretical approaches that have the potential to significantly advance the current state of the art and shape future directions of this research community. The main topics of discussion will include novel synthesis and scale-up of new materials, advanced diagnostics and experimental techniques, nanoscale, non-crystalline and additively-manufactured energetic materials, and new theoretical methods and models for simulating the behavior of energetic materials, including detonation, ignition/initiation, sub-detonative response, and thermal decomposition. An equally important focus will be on the development of the next generation of energetic materials researchers, through initiatives which promote creation of new connections between young researchers and established professionals.

49th International Annual Conference of the Fraunhofer ICT on Energetic Materials
Description:
The Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology is holding its 49th International Annual Conference on Energetic Materials. The research and development of new energetic materials and formulations for ammunitions, propellants and pyrotechnics is an ongoing process worldwide. Energetic materials must meet a variety of requirements, some of which may be contradictory. Requirements relate primarily to the performance, but insensitivity, stability and vulnerability also play an important role. However, new perspectives have recently emerged in this field. Increasing awareness of the risks that toxic compounds pose to humans and the environment has led to the banning of hazardous materials, and stimulated the search for non-critical substitute components. Other new perspectives include synthesis and processing methods that are environmentally friendly or give access to new materials such as co-crystals, nanocomposites, energetic ionic liquids and 3D energetic metal–organic frameworks. The new energetic ingredients, and advanced production technologies such as the additive manufacturing of energetic materials, may lead to new, innovative applications and the enhanced performance of existing products.
The objective of the 49th International Annual Conference of the Fraunhofer ICT will be knowledge exchange on basic research, technical implementation, political requirements and industrial use, in order to promote the forward-looking development, production and application of energetic materials related to defense technology, pyrotechnic devices and space propulsion.
Location: Convention Center, Karlsruhe, Germany
