- Energetic Materials Formulation and Testing Group
With expertise ranging from formulation, polymer, and shock and impact initiation sciences to explosives safety and material characterization, we develop and produce materials at all scales.
Comprised mostly of chemists, materials science engineers, and chemical engineers, our group works to characterize and test materials to drive scientific developments, solve challenging problems, and support programmatic needs in LLNL’s Physical and Life Sciences, Strategic Deterrence, and Global Security organizations.
Our group also helps to centralize LLNL’s endeavors in energetic materials formulation, bridging the gap between the High Explosives Application Facility and the Site 300 Chemistry Area.
