Abstract The RDX, HMX, and AP are currently the most widely used energetic ingredients in
composite solid propellants, since the newly developed energetic compounds are still …

The introduction of nano-sized energetic ingredients first occurred in Russia about 60 years
ago and arose great expectations in the rocket propulsion community, thanks to the higher …

Burning rate modulation is a critical but challenging technology for solid propellants' design.
Great efforts have been made to synthesize and utilize catalysts to modify the pressure …

In this paper, micro-spherical Al@ PDA@ RDX composites with fine interfacial control have
been fabricated by spray-drying technique, where poly-dopamine (PDA) is employed as a …

The combustion response of solid propellants plays a crucial role in determining the
combustion stability of solid rocket motors (SRMs). This study employs multiple advanced …

Three kinds of ferrates (NiFe2O4, ZnFe2O4 and CoFe2O4) were prepared via the facile
solvothermal method and characterized using SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, FT‐IR and BET …

Catalysts are often added to solid propellant formulations to tailor burning rates.
Nanocatalysts can increase propellant burning rates over standard catalyst sizes due to the …

The Burning rate of a solid propellant predominantly influences its internal ballistic behavior
and it has been well known that incorporation of small quantities of certain classes of …

At present, the preparation of propellants with high safety and good thermal decomposition
performance is still a challenge. An ammonium perchlorate/cobalt acetate hydroxide …

Using traditional metallic combustion catalysts in composite solid propellant (CSP) can lead
to sharp energy losses of CSP due to the non-energetic properties of the catalysts. In the …
