Recent synthetic efforts towards high energy density materials: How to design high-performance energetic structures?

Jing Zhou, Jun-Lin Zhang, Bozhou Wang et al. · 1 Oct 2021

Energetic material is a very essential company of compounds, widely used in various fields, primarily in the military industry and space technologies. These compounds are unique in that they are capable of instantly decomposing to release enormous energy. The chemical diversity of energetic organic compounds is constantly increasing through the combination of various high-nitrogen frameworks…

Review and prospect of thermal analysis technology applied to study thermal properties of energetic materials

Ziru Liu · 23 May 2021

The applications of thermal analysis technologies in evaluating the thermal properties of energetic materials in China are briefly reviewed. They are widely adopted in the determination of thermal stability, compatibility and thermophysical constants, as well as the study of thermal decomposition kinetics, mechanism and interaction. In addition, some researches of development or innovation, including the…

Hybrid rocket propulsion technology for space transportation revisited - propellant solutions and challenges

Adam Okniński, Wioleta Kopacz, Damian Kaniewski et al. · 1 Dec 2021

This paper presents the status of developments worldwide regarding use of hybrid rocket motors for space transportation. Historical roots are presented and reasons for revisiting hybrid technology after a few decades of limited interest are examined. Modern developments in sounding rockets, reusable suborbital systems and launch vehicles are discussed with particular focus on propellant technology.…

Hydrogen peroxide – A promising oxidizer for rocket propulsion and its application in solid rocket propellants

Wioleta Kopacz, Adam Okniński, Anna Kasztankiewicz et al. · 1 Mar 2022

This paper discusses the potential use of hydrogen peroxide as oxidizer for solid rocket propulsion. While hydrogen peroxide is a liquid in normal conditions, it may be used in solid rocket motor grains. Use of hydrogen peroxide of HTP class (High Test Peroxide) is proposed. It has been known for many decades but its utilization…

Novel energetic CNO oxidizer: Pernitro-substituted pyrazolyl-furazan framework

Igor L. Dalinger, Tatyana K. Shkineva, Ирина А. Вацадзе et al. · 2 May 2021

There is a need for dense energetic oxidizers whose composition is restricted to carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen atoms as chlorine-free alternative to current oxidizers of energetic materials such as explosives, propellants and pyrotechnics. High nitrogen heterocyclic frameworks containing trinitromethyl units are an attractive and increasingly important class of oxygen-rich compounds. Herein, for the first…

FirePhysChem template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the FirePhysChem format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the FirePhysChem template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does FirePhysChem use?
FirePhysChem uses Numbered (Elsevier) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, C. Lee, A representative article title, FirePhysChem 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to FirePhysChem?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready FirePhysChem document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the FirePhysChem template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the FirePhysChem format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes FirePhysChem?
FirePhysChem is a multidisciplinary journal published by Elsevier. DocuGuru's FirePhysChem template matches Elsevier's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready FirePhysChem PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official FirePhysChem template (the elsarticle class) that is ready to submit to Elsevier, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the FirePhysChem template cost?
You can start writing in the FirePhysChem template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready FirePhysChem PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
