《高能材料雜志》填補了在爆炸物、推進劑和煙火領域建立科學技術交流國際論壇的需要。這是一種參考出版物，每季度出版一次。分子軌道計算、合成和分析化學、配方、點火和爆炸特性、熱分解、危險測試、生物技術以及高能材料生產的毒理學和環境方面是提交給期刊的文章的適當主題。

The Journal of Energetic Materials fills the need for an international forum of scientific and technical interchange in the disciplines of explosives, propellants, and pyrotechnics. It is a refereed publication which is published quarterly. Molecular orbital calculations, synthetic and analytical chemistry, formulation, ignition and detonation properties, thermal decomposition, hazards testing, biotechnology, and toxicological and environmental aspects of energetic materials production are appropriate subjects for articles submitted to the Journal.
