title: 2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (TATB) and TATB-based formulations--a review.
abstract: This paper reviews the research and development work on 2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (TATB), and TATB-based formulations of other explosives. Syntheses including the production of nano-sized particles, analytical methods, thermophysical properties, performance, formulations, toxicity and safety of TATB are reviewed in this work.
