HTPB based composite Solid propellants are the source of power for the propulsion of rockets and missiles. Since composite solid rocket propellants, used in rockets and missiles is the fastest degrading component of the complete system, shelf life of the system is mainly governed by the life of the propellants. During storage and transportation, the propellant grains are subjected to various co...

The enhancement of performance with a decrease in sensitivity of the propellant, have been considered in energetic materials research and development centers. Therefore, efforts to remove nitroglycerin from the common formulations while maintaining the efficiency of the propulsion system has been made, Which led to a new technology so called Extruded Composite Low Sensitive Propellant (ECL). Th...

GAP propellants has good performance due to high energy of this polymer. Unfortunately, due to poor flexibility of GAP polymer and presence of rigid and conjugated azide side groups in its structure, they have poor mechanical properties especially under low temperatures. This article deals with methods of improving mechanical properties of solid composite propellants based on GAP through changi...

The oxidant forms the most part of the propellants, and ammonium perchlorate is the most applicable oxidizer in composite solid propellants. Therefore, its thermal decomposition and immunity properties have been a great effect on the propellants properties. The using of polymeric additives is one of the different methods for improving the thermal and immunological properties of ammonium perchlo...
