Abstract: The impact sensitivity of 58 liquid explosives (HEs) and melts of solid HEs were determined. Correlations between the impact sensitivity of liquid HEs and the maximum volumetric heat of explosion were obtained, allowing one to predict the sensitivity of liquid HEs based on the physicochemical properties and element composition of HEs. The limiting capabilities of liquid HEs are considered.

Keywords: liquid explosives, impact sensitivity, structure-property relationship.
