Purification and Properties of Polyvinyl Nitrate and Its Compatibility With Solid Oxidizers

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, Volume 51, Issue 8, Page 1224-1234, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Polyvinyl nitrate (PVN) is a nitrate‐ester energetic binder that can be produced directly from polyvinyl alcohol—a cheap commodity feedstock—thereby offering potential cost and supply‐chain advantages over binders based on nitrocellulose and other specialty polymers.

Characterization of Structure, Properties, and Energetic Performance of a 1:1 Ammonium Dinitramide‐3,4‐Diaminofurazan Cocrystal

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, Volume 51, Issue 7, Page 1044-1057, July 2026.
Ammonium dinitramide (ADN) and 3,4‐Diaminofurazan (DAF) form a 1:1 energetic cocrystal. We report its crystal structure and spectroscopic signature and evaluate thermal stability, decomposition behavior, hygroscopicity, and combustion properties. Propellant performance calculations benchmark the material against guanylurea dinitramide (GuDN) and ...

Evaluation of a High‐Performance Monopropellant Formed of Microencapsulated Hydrocarbon Fuels in Combination With Gelled Hydrogen Peroxide in a Strand Burner Setup

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 781-789, May 2026.
A high‐performance premixed monopropellant is prepared from hydrocarbon‐filled microcapsules and hydrogen peroxide. This propellant is burned in a strand burner, and the effect of different parameters on the burn rate is evaluated. ABSTRACT A dispersion of hydrocarbon‐fuel‐filled microcapsules in gelled hydrogen peroxide can form a premixed ...
