The elastic properties of high- and low-pressure glasses of dipropylene glycol were determined for the first time under conditions of isothermal compression up to 1 GPa at 77 K and isobaric heating of 77-300 K at 0.05 GPa and 1 GPa. A strong dependence of the elastic properties of glasses on their thermobaric history has been revealed: glasses obtained at high pressure have not only higher densities (3.9%), but also noticeably higher elastic moduli. This effect is especially pronounced in the shear modulus: high-pressure glass has a 30% higher shear modulus than low-pressure glass. The behavior of elastic moduli during the glass-to-liquid transition also depends on the thermobaric history. Glass produced at low pressure but heated at high pressure has anomalous temperature dependences of the elastic moduli. Heating dipropylene glycol glasses at different pressures allowed us to refine the () dependence.

Blast-related traumatic brain injury (bTBI) is a significant cause of wartime morbidity and mortality. In recent decades, thermobaric explosives have emerged as particularly devastating weapons associated with bTBI. With recent documentation of the use of these weapons in the war in Ukraine, clinicians and laypersons alike could benefit from an improved understanding behind the dynamic interplay between explosive weaponry, its potential for bTBI, and the subsequent long-term consequences of these injuries.

As glasses are nonergodic systems, their properties should depend not only on external macroparameters, such as P and T, but also on the time of observation and thermobaric history. In this work, comparative ultrasonic studies of two groups of molecular propylene carbonate glasses obtained by quenching from a liquid at pressures of 0.1 and 1 GPa have been performed.

Advanced thermobaric explosives have become one of the urgent requirements when targeting caves, fortified structures, and bunkers. Highly metal-based systems are designed to exploit the secondary combustion resulted from active metal particles; thus sustained overpressure and additional thermal loadings can be achieved. This study, reports on a novel approach for chemical composition optimization using thermochemical calculations in an attempt to achieve the highest explosion power.
