In this study, an efficient and green technique based on ultrasound assisted extraction was developed for separation and determination of some components of double base solid propellant (DB propellant) by high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (HPLC-UV-Vis the optimum extraction conditions with respect to maximum recovery for target analytes were achieved at 120 min, with powe...

Cracking is the breaking of bonds in a part of the propellant polymer due to the existing stresses that change the structure of the propellant polymer and they are classified into two general categories: macrocrack and microcrack. The service life of rocket engines is largely a function of the mechanical properties of the solid rocket propellant, the aging characteristics of the rocket propulsi...

In this study, the combustion characteristics and burning rate of RDX/AP/Al/HTPB composite solid propellant were studied experimentally. Five different RDX-based propellant compositions have been formulated and the burning rate and calorimetric value were evaluated. The burning rates of RDX composite solid propellants increased with increasing RDX content. The data obtained from experimental te...

In this article aging behavior of composite solid propellant was investigated by determining its mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. For this purpose, three HTPB samples with different microstructures were selected and composite solid propellants were prepared based on them keeping similar other components and aging was studied by accelerated method.  Mechanical properties were meas...

Owing to the prime importance of ammonium dinitramide (ADN) as an oxidizer in solid propellants, its synthesis has received a great amount of interest. There have been several new and innovative synthesis routes developed by researcher’s worldwide. Liquid-fuel rockets consist of a fuel and oxygen (or other oxidizer) in liquid state. These fractals are already being combined together or combined...
