Introduction
Apart from homogeneous Energetic Materials such as High Explosives and Propellants those materials constituted from separate fuel and oxidizer particles are called pyrolants or more commonly Pyrotechnics. Those specialists working in the field of pyrotechnics are organized in the International Pyrotechnics Society.
History
In the 1960s some of these specialists attended meetings to share experiences, to present their work, their research and to meet new people. These meetings started as "the Colorado meetings", organized by the late Dr. Robert M. Blunt, and this later was formalized into what is currently known as the IPS [1]
The International Pyrotechnics Society was officially formed in May 1980 [2]. However, The International Pyrotechnics Society can claim that its roots go back to 1968 when the First International Pyrotechnics Seminar was held at Estes Park Colorado, USA. In fact it was the Steering Committee of the Sixth International Pyrotechnics Seminar who officially formed the International Pyrotechnics Society. The Society has continued to sanction International Pyrotechnics Seminars [3] These have been held ever other year in the United States and other countries in years the Seminar has not been held in the United States, e.g., China, France, Japan, New Zealand, Russia, the United Kingdom and The Netherlands. Over the years the membership of the Society has grown to approximately 275 in 30 countries.
Purposes of this Society
- To promote and facilitate the exchange of information concerning the science and technology of energetic materials, including propellants, explosives, and pyrotechnics, among all interested persons
- To create and maintain information resources which can expedite and enhance a member’s search for information regarding the science and technology of energetic materials as well as information on devices and applications which utilize energetic materials.
- To sponsor or sanction symposia on topics in the field of energetic materials research, development, technology and applications at such intervals as may be appropriate to further its first purpose as stated above.
- To encourage research and education in the science and technology of energetic materials.
Promoting Young Scientists
The IPS also aims to help young scientists to develop their career in this field of work. For each Seminar a bursary can be awarded to assist young pyrotechnicians to attend and present their work at International Seminars sponsored by the Society by contributing to their travelling costs. The Bursary is known as the Frank Carver Bursary and is administrated by a Bursary Committee under the auspices of the Society[4].
Publication
The official publication of the IPS is the Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics journal published bimonthly by Wiley-VCH-publisher in Weinheim/Germany.
