  3. Polymer-bonded explosive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer-bonded_explosive

    Polymer-bonded explosives, also called PBX or plastic-bonded explosives, are explosive materials in which explosive powder is bound together in a matrix using small quantities (typically 5–10% by weight) of a synthetic polymer. PBXs are normally used for explosive materials that are not easily melted into a casting, or are otherwise difficult ...
