Energetic material

Energetic materials are a class of materials with high amount of stored chemical energy that can be released. [http://undergradresearch.missouri.edu/forums-conferences/abstracts/abstract-detail.php?abstractid=843]

Typical classes of energetic materials are e.g. explosives, pyrotechnic compositions, propellants (e.g. smokeless gunpowders and rocket fuels), and fuels (e.g. diesel fuel and gasoline).
