  Plastic explosive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Plastic explosives are especially suited for explosive demolition as they can be easily formed into the best shapes for cutting structural members, and have a high enough velocity of detonation and density for metal cutting work.
One of the earliest plastic explosives was Nobel 808, developed well before World War II and used extensively by British SOE forces during that war.
The samples of explosive brought to the USA by the Tizard Mission had been packaged by SOE ready for dropping to the French Resistance and were labelled in French, as Explosif Plastique.

 Method for producing plastically bonded propulsion powders and explosives - Patent 4608210
The components of the propulsive powder, or correspondingly the explosive material in crystalline form, are added in steadily increasing proportions with a simultaneous reduction of the portion of the plastic binder and finally, the mixture ratio is held constant.
The invention is comprised of a method for producing plastically bonded propulsion powders or explosives by means of an extruder which consists of a housing with at least an entry opening and in some circumstances, a supplemental opening for a solvent, two co-rotating or counterrotating screw shafts and a forming head.
Afterwards, the supplemental feeding of the crystalline explosive is injected whereby the ratio of the plastic binder and the crystalline explosive is steadily changed to that which is most favorable until finally the desired mixture ratio is reached with up to 4-6 percent binder component.

 Polymer-bonded explosive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A polymer-bonded explosive, also called PBX or plastic-bonded explosive, is an explosive material in which explosive powder is bound together in a matrix using small quantities (typically 5-10% by weight) of a synthetic polymer ("plastic")
PBXes are normally used for explosive materials which are not easily meltable to cast or which are otherwise hard to form.
If the polymer matrix is an elastomer (rubbery material), it tends to absorb shocks, making the PBX very insensitive to accidental detonation.

Explosive materials are used as "bursting charges" for bombs, missile warheads, grenades, and mines, and as "propellants" to fire bullets and artillery shells.
Liquid explosives are unsafe because they are extremely homogenous; their mixing is at the molecular level, and so they can be set off by a mild physical shock.
PETN is a relatively sensitive explosive, and is often used as a booster, or in "detonating cord (detcord)", a type of explosive line used as a detonator and for small-scale demolition tasks.

An explosive booster acts as a bridge between a low energy (A chemical substance that undergoes a rapid chemical change (with the production of gas) on being heated or struck) explosive and a low sensitivity (but typically high energy) explosive.
It increases the energy of an initiating explosive to the degree sufficient to trigger the secondary charge.
Explosive boosters are typically constructed by mixing high sensitivity and high energy compounds at various ratios.

 polymer
A polymer is a long, repeating organic chain, formed through the linkage of many identical smaller molecules called monomers.
Because polymers are distinguished by their constituent monomers, polymer chains within a substance are often not of equal length.
Polymers containing amide groups can form hydrogen bonds between adjacent chains; the positive hydrogen atoms in N-H groups of one chain are strongly attracted to the oxygen atoms in C=O groups on another.

In the polymerization of ethene to polyethene (polythene), electrons are transferred from the carbon–carbon double bond of the ethene molecule, allowing the molecules to join together as a long chain of carbon–carbon single bonds.
There are many polymers, both natural (cellulose, chitin, lignin, rubber) and synthetic (polyethylene and nylon, types of plastic).
The size of the polymer matrix is determined by the amount of monomer used; it therefore does not form a molecule of constant molecular size or mass.

 High performance plastic bonded explosive - US Patent 6673174   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Plastic bonded explosive (PBX) compositions utilizing CL-20 as the oxidizer, and particularly when the CL-20 is blended with particular combinations of binders and/or plasticizers, have been found to yield synergistic chemical combinations which demonstrate higher energy density and increased penetration power and impetus in military weapons and similar applications.
It is generally known in the art of military explosives to formulate plastic bonded explosive (PBX) compositions consisting of three principal components: (1) an oxidizer; (2) a binder; and, (3) a plasticizer.
An explosive is reported to have passed the electrostatic sensitivity test and to be acceptable as a booster or main-charge explosive if there are no reactions in the 25 consecutive trials at the 0.02 J level.

 Plastic explosive
The first efforts in wartime mixed the explosives with materials like beeswax, although possessing many of the properties of plastic explosive they were unpleasant to handle and degraded rapidly.
The first true plastic explosives emerged post-war, initially called polymer bonded explosives (PBXs), the explosive crystals were embedded in a polymer matrix such as polystyrene or nylon.
The key to a useful explosive was found in the 1960s with the mixing of RDX with PETN and then adding binders and stabilizers, the resultant material was safer and easier to handle than traditional explosives and also held a greater charge per volume.

Ultimatively the lithium salt electrolyte is not held in an organic solvent, like in the proven lithium ion design, but in a solid polymer composite such as polyacrylonitrile.
The main difference between commercial polymer and to lithium ion cells is that in the latter cells, the rigid case presses the electrodes and the separator onto each other, whereas in polymer cells this external pressure is not required because the electrode sheets and the separator sheets are laminated onto each other.
