Combustion characteristics of extruded nitramine double-base propellants

Combustion Mechanisms of Solid Propellants

Evaluation of malonanilides as new stabilizers for double-base propellants.

Five malonanilide derivatives (M1-M5) were prepared by the reaction of ethyl malonate with aniline derivatives. These compounds were investigated as new stabilizers for double-base propellants (DBPs). The evaluation process has been performed through thermal stability tests, thermal analyses measurements (TGA and DSC) and kinetic parameters calculations (E(a)). The results of the new stabilizer...

Combustion Products of Propellants and Ammunition

Stability studies of double-base propellants with centralite and malonanilide stabilizers using MO calculations in comparison to thermal studies.

Propellants containing nitrate esters need stabilizers to avoid early decomposition or even explosion during storage. Newly prepared malonanilides M1-M5 were tested in stabilizing double-base propellants (DBPs). Their stabilization was compared with the effect of classical stabilizer N,N'-diethyldiphenyl urea (C1) using both practical thermal stability tests (qualitative and quantitative tests)...
