Polymer-bonded explosive - A polymer-bonded explosive, also called PBX or plastic-bonded explosive, is an explosive material in which explosive powder is bound together in a matrix using small quantities (typically 5-10% by weight) of a synthetic polymer ("plastic").

Explosive limit - The explosive limit, also called the explosion limit, of a gas or a vapour, is the limiting concentration (in air) that is needed for the gas to ignite and explode. There are two explosive limits for any gas or vapor, the lower explosive limit (LEL) and the upper explosive limit (UEL).

Explosive booster - An explosive booster acts as a bridge between a low energy explosive and a low sensitivity (but typically high energy) explosive. It increases the energy of an initiating explosive to the degree sufficient to trigger the secondary charge.

Nuclear explosive - A nuclear explosive is an explosive device that derives its energy from nuclear reactions. Almost all nuclear explosive devices that have been designed and produced, and the two that have actually been used, are nuclear weapons intended for warfare; see that article for more detail.
