Study is focused on the theory and technology in the field of pyrotechnics and application of the basic pyrotechnic compositions in the practical applications. Student id introduces in to the basic terms, application and principles in the pyrotechnic science. Attention is also paid on the primary explosives with the aspects of their technical use in the initiators.
Students passing the course having basic knowledge to be orientated in the pyrotechnic compositions and pyrotechnic products. Student will have sufficient knowledge to chose pyrotechnic product for the given application concerning technological, functional and other aspects ot the pyrotechnic devices/products.
