HPEs hold the promise of following the linage of other
historic explosive innovations alongside nitro-glycerine
dynamites, ANFO, watergels, emulsions, non-electric det-
onations, and electronic detonators. Once HPEs are main-
stream, the explosives family tree will need to be updated.

The authors honour all researchers, past and present,
that have or are exploring, the potential of hydrogen perox-
ide for industrial explosives as an alternative to mainstream
offerings of their time.
