For those that are interested here are a few books that could get you started:

"Chemistry of Pyrotechnics: Basic Principles and Theory" by John Conkling and Chris Mocella Good intro to pyro chemistry

"High Explosives, Propellants, and Pyrotechnics" by Ernst-Christian Koch. - Colleague of Kohler

"Chemistry of High-Energy Materials" by Thomas M. Klapötke

"Explosives" by Rudolf Meyer, Josef Köhler, Axel Homburg.


I'm wondering if anyone has any sources for more advanced pyrotechnics/propellants mainly liquid based. Or just additional books and sources would be great.
