Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene: Known as HTPB, a polymer of butadiene, is a thick, sticky liquid, available with different viscosities, used as a binder for plastic-bonded explosives and solid-fuel rocket engines, as an adhesive and sealant, and as a feedstock for polyurethane production [e]

Subtopics
- Insensitive high explosives [r]: Explosives, principally for military use, which have an extremely low probability of detonating accidentally or other than as intended in a specific application; not easily converted to improvised explosive devices, will not detonate when engulfed in fire, and, when used in the high explosive initator of a nuclear weapon, unable to trigger fission unless precisely triggered [e]
