2016 Energetic Materials Gordon Research Conference
Abstract
Purpose of Funding: Conference funding is being sought from the Office of Naval Research to provide partial registration fee support for 8-1/3 participants ($1200 each), including but not limited to U.S. women and/or other minorities to attend the 2016 Energetic Materials Gordon Research Conference. This conference brings together bring together leading scientists from the international community, as well as young researchers and students. The GRC on Energetic Materials brings together scientists from many countries working in government laboratories, research universities and private industry to discuss state-of-the-art research on explosives, pyrotechnics and propellants. The main topics of discussion in 2016 will include synthesis of new materials, performance, advanced diagnostics, experimental techniques, theoretical approaches, and computational models for simulating the behavior of energetic materials under a wide variety of conditions. The meeting is an important venue for presenting cutting edge fundamental research into the chemistry, physics and materials properties associated with ignition, combustion, detonation, ageing, thermal decomposition and mechanical damage of energetics. The program for the meeting includes nine oral presentation sessions and two to four posters sessions, depending on the number of poster submittals. Discussion leaders and speakers are drawn from the leading researchers in the field of energetic materials. The presentations are focused on current work and new results rather than summaries of published work. Afternoons are left free for informal discussions or other unstructured activities.
