《高能材料杂志》填补了在爆炸物、推进剂和烟火领域建立科学技术交流国际论坛的需要。这是一种参考出版物，每季度出版一次。分子轨道计算、合成和分析化学、配方、点火和爆炸特性、热分解、危险测试、生物技术以及高能材料生产的毒理学和环境方面是提交给期刊的文章的适当主题。
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.
