curious if anyone knows what is the the most powerful peroxide. I have hear that Cyclohexanone Peroxide is close to that of DPPP but not certain of this. Any peroxide capable of Devol of over 9Km/sec?

I doubt ANY organic peroxide can achieve that high due to low densities and if it did exist, I can guarantee the military would be using it as it is pretty cheap to make. I think cyclohexanone peroxides VoD is aroubnd 5000...can't be more than that.
