Development of NMP‐001, A Nitromethane‐Based Green Propellant

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper discusses the development of a model monopropellant that is aimed at exploring the applicability of nitromethane‐based propellants as an alternative to hydrazine. This approach addresses the challenges faced by HAN‐, ADN‐based propulsion by being more cost‐effective while providing similar performance figures.

Thermal Ignition of ADN‐Based Propellants

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, Volume 44, Issue 9, Page 1096-1106, September 2019., 2019
Abstract Ammonium dinitramide (ADN, NH4+ N(NO2)2−) based monopropellants are extremely promising as hydrazine replacement. Thermal igniters are attractive for ADN thrusters as they allow a more prompt ignition and may be better suited for larger engines (100‐500 N) compared to the currently used preheated catalysts.

Facile Preparation and Properties of Crosslinked Copolyether Elastomers with 1,2,3‐Triazole and Urethane Subunit via Click Polymerization

ChemistryOpen, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 571-579, May 2019., 2019
Click and cross: A novel azide terminated ethylene oxide‐tetrahydrofuran copolymer with urethane segments (ATUPET) has been prepared through a facile method. The elastomers based on ATUPET exhibited improved mechanical properties and satisfactory thermal stability, which indicated that this might be a promising polymeric binder for future propellant ...
