Smartplastic Explosives

Smartplastic explosives by Iczer

The smartplastic explosive is a mildly tacky compound carrying nodules of binary agents. The compound itself is mimetic, ductile, shapeable and programmable. electronic signals control the overall compound's shape and consistency. Attached to a surface, the smartplastic slowly adopts the coloration of that surface, making the substance difficult to find. decreasing the voltage on the charge causes it to become stickier and more shapeable, while increasing it makes it firmer in the shape it is currently in. At it's highest charge threshold, a smartplastic compound can serve as a simple metal or plastic tool.
When the current is turned off, by timer, remote or the destruction of the battery network, the substance becomes as tacky and malleable as possible. Externally it retains cohesion from simple reaction with air, but internally it liquefies, allowing the two binary agents to mix until critical mass is reached and it explodes.
Current models have comparable explosive capacity equal to equal masses of C4. Currently work is in progress to adapt to other binary type agents (such as gasses). In Vladivostok in the latter part of 2009, a mobile phone was found to have been made entirely from smartplastic explosives. When passed through the X-ray scanner at the local airport terminal, the battery ceased working and the explosion killed 4 security personnel, a flight attendant and the phone's owner. It is believed that the owner was unaware that his phone had been switched out but airline footage reveals that he had been using it moments before the explosion.
