In this paper, a review of the available literature on physical and explosive properties of explosive compositions containing a secondary explosive and a polymer binder (PBX) is presented. The review focused on an analysis of the properties of compositions containing mostly synthetic polymers. The review showed that, at the moment, the most commonly used composition is a hexogen-based explosive bonded with a chemically cross-linked hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene. The use of energetic polymers in PBX compositions was observed only in the experimental systems tested on a laboratory scale. The most popular methods of forming compositions include pressing a previously phlegmatized explosive or chemical cross-linking of the composition in the projectile shell. Compositions which can be formed and reloaded using injection machines are known, but due to many limitations, the method is not widely used.

Wykonano przegląd literatury dotyczący właściwości fizycznych i parametrów detonacyjnych kompozycji składających się z kruszących materiałów wybuchowych oraz lepiszcza polimerowego (PBX). Skupiono się na analizie właściwości kompozycji zawierających głównie polimery syntetyczne. Zauważono, że współcześnie najczęściej stosowane są kompozycje na bazie heksogenu związanego za pomocą sieciowanego chemiczne polibutadienu z terminalnymi grupami hydroksylowymi. Zastosowanie polimerów energetycznych w kompozycjach PBX odnotowano tylko w układach doświadczalnych testowanych w skali nie większej niż laboratoryjna. Najpopularniejsze metody formowania kompozycji to prasowanie uprzednio sflegmatyzowanego materiału wybuchowego lub sieciowanie chemiczne kompozycji w skorupie pocisku. Znane są mieszaniny, które można formować i elaborować za pomocą wtryskarek, ale ze względu na liczne ograniczenia ta metoda nie zyskała większej popularności.
