Nitrocellulose5
Another example is modern gunpowder, which contains nitroglycerin and nitrocellulose, along with other compounds. (britannica.com)
Also called smokeless gunpowder or pyroxylated gunpowder, it has mostly gaseous components for combustion (fruit of nitrocellulose), so it does not leave the same amount of waste as black powder. (whatmaster.com)
In contrast, modern smokeless gunpowders are made from nitrocellulose (monobasic gunpowder) and nitroglycerin (biblical gunpowder). (whatmaster.com)
In addition to nitrocellulose double base powders contain also nitroglycerin (8 - 23 %) as an energetic component. (huntersammoshop.com)

Nobel3
they were only partially successful until the plan, first applied by General Pictot in 1854, of developing the force of gunpowder in the most rapid manner and to the maximum extent, through initiative detonation , was applied by Nobel to nitroglycerin. (stackexchange.com)
The potential for nitroglycerine to be used for construction purposes during the enormous building boom of the 1800's and early 1900's spurred the Swedish chemist, Alfred Nobel, to try to stabilize nitro, so that it could be transported, stored and used safely. (lindamariafrank.com)

Sulfur3
Gunpowder is a powder mixture of very combustible (burnable) chemicals, namely sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate. (sage-tips.com)
Gunpowder is Combustible and is an Explosion Hazard: Nitrates have the property to release oxygen when heated, and this oxygen leads to the fast burning of carbon and sulfur, resulting in an explosion-like chemical reaction when gunpowder is ignited. (sage-tips.com)
The most common gunpowder, black gunpowder, is composed of 75% potassium nitrate (KNO3), 15% carbon and 10% sulfur. (whatmaster.com)
Powder7
