What is Gun Cotton?
Gun cotton is a highly flammable material that is made from cellulose cellulose, a type of natural fiber found in various plant species. It consists of nitro-cellulose, which has been nitrated, or treated with a form of nitrogen, to induce explosive properties. This specialized material was first developed by the German chemist Pierre-Jean Robiquette in 1846 (Robiquette, p. 12).
History
Gun Cotton was first used as ammunition for the French Army shortly after its discovery, giving it its name due its use as a replacement or "cotton" that could be used to package and store gunpowder. Its explosive properties would eventually make it an *integral part of various uses in war, particularly within the realms of *explosives., fireworks, (and other pyrotechnics).*

**What is Gun Cotton?**
Gun Cotton is a highly flammable material that is made from **cellulose** cellulose, a type of natural fiber found in various plant species. It consists of **nitro-cellulose**, which has been **nitreated, or treated with a form of nitrogen**, to induce explosive properties. This specialized material was first developed by the German chemist Pierre-Jean Robiquette in 1846 **(Robiquette, p. 12)**.
History **Density:** 1 g/cm3

** ignition temperature:** 280oC (536o)Properties
When ignited, Gun Cotton breaks down rapidly into its most volatile component, celluloid, and releases largeamounts of heat. Given its extremely high thermal decomposotion rate and
low ignition temperature relative to most other substances). This has made Gun Cortex an excellent choice for countless applications,
