    Abstract:

    Twin-screw extrusion technology, owing to its outstanding mixing capability, processing flexibility, and enhanced safety, has become a crucial driver in the continuous processing of energetic materials. This review summarizes recent advances in the use of twin-screw extrusion for the continuous manufacturing of energetic materials, particularly rocket propellants, gun propellants, and mixed explosives. It discusses the different types of twin-screw extrusion equipment, process design, and the advantages of modular configurations, particularly in terms of process adaptability and operational safety. International collaborations and successful industrial implementations, notably in the US, France, and the Netherlands, are outlined for continuous production of propellants and gun powders. Current challenges such as achieving fine and uniform processing, improving safety monitoring, and developing comprehensive theoretical models are analyzed. The future prospects of the technology for intelligent manufacturing and environmentally friendly processes in high-end energetic materials are also discussed. In summary, twin-screw extrusion provides a solid theoretical and practical foundation for efficient, automated, and innovative energetic materials processing.
