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 …

Aluminum is widely used in solid rocket propellants to improve the energy performance of
the propellant. However, during propellant combustion, aluminum particles may …

Fluorine-containing organic substances (FCOS) are often added to aluminized solid
propellants to improve their ignition and combustion characteristics, but existing FCOS …

The metastable intermixed composite (MIC) is one of the most popular research topics in the
field of energetic materials (EMs). The goal is to invent EMs with tunable reactivity and …

In this experimental study, we explore how the combustion and agglomeration
characteristics of solid propellants can be modified by replacing aluminum with ternary …

In this study, we investigate the aluminum agglomeration characteristics in hydroxyl‑
terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) and nitrate ester plasticized polyether (NEPE) propellants …

Cyclotetramethylene tetranitramine (HMX) is usually added to solid propellants, but the
inclusion of HMX significantly affects the propellant combustion characteristics, especially by …

Graphene and its composites are promising catalysts for energetic materials. In order to
realize the application of graphene in solid propellant, the effects of graphene content on the …

The agglomeration of aluminum particles usually occurs on the burning surface of
aluminized composite propellants. It leads to low propellant combustion efficiency and high …

In solid propellants, aluminum plays a key role in energy performance enhancement, but it
also induces combustion problems such as low combustion efficiency and agglomeration …
