The manual on the basis of scientific concepts of physical chemistry in a systematic form contains information on the physicochemical properties of gunpowder and PTT as multicomponent condensed diverse energy-enriched systems. Taking into account the functioning of gunpowder and PTT, the operational requirements for them were determined, the concepts and definitions of the corresponding physicochemical characteristics were given, a comparative qualitative and quantitative analysis was carried out for different gunpowder and PTT. Experimental methods of comparative assessment of physical and chemical characteristics of gunpowder and PTT, both classical and new, are considered.
