Regarding substances, chemical mixtures, or devices: self-explosive; possessing the property to decompose violently and detonate spontaneously under the influence of internal factors or minor environmental variations, without requiring an external primer or dedicated detonator. In a technical sense, it describes a critical molecular instability where the thermal propagation reaction is self-sustained.
