Characteristics of a New Plastic Explosive Named EPX-1 by Ahmed Elbeih

“…The detonation velocity was measured experimentally and the detonation characteristics were calculated by EXPLO5 thermodynamic code. For comparison, Semtex 1A, Semtex 10, Formex P1, and Sprängdeg m/46 were studied. …”

Laser Desorption-Ion Mobility Spectrometry of Explosives for Forensic and Security Applications by Giorgio Felizzato, Martin Sabo, Matej Petrìk, Francesco Saverio Romolo

“…Results: The IMS prototype was validated through experiments with pure explosives (TNT, RDX, PETN) and explosive products (SEMTEX 1A, C4) on different materials. The study found that the pre-processing method significantly impacts classification accuracy, with the PCA-LDA model demonstrating the best performance for real-world applications. …”
