Assessing the Mixedness of Composite Solid Rocket Propellants Using Fluorescent Particles
44th AIAA/ASME/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference & Exhibit, 2008A new diagnostic technique was developed for assessing the effectiveness of mixing techniques of solid composite propellants using nanoparticle additives. The diagnostic uses nanosized quantum dots in suspension or micron-sized powders that are mixed into the propellant in place of the additives.

Thermal decomposition kinetics of PBAN-binder and composite solid rocket propellants
Combustion and Flame, 1999Abstract Thermogravimetric analysis at heating rates between 0.5 and 10°C min −1 has been used to study the decomposition kinetics of the PBAN binder and three propellants based on ammonium perchlorate (AP) with PBAN, HTPB, or BAMO-AMMO binders. Thermal runaway was observed for the PBAN and HTPB propellants at heating rates faster than 4.5 and 3°C ...

Application of Nano‐Aluminum/Nitrocellulose Mesoparticles in Composite Solid Rocket Propellants
Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, 2015AbstractIn this work we investigate the potential application of nano‐aluminum/nitrocellulose mesoparticles as an ingredient for solid composite rocket propellants. The basic strategy is to incorporate nanoaluminum in the form of a micrometer scale particle containing a gas‐generator, to enable easier processing, and potential benefits resulting from ...

Tailoring burning rates using reactive wires in composite solid rocket propellants
Proceedings of the Combustion Institute, 2017Abstract Tailoring solid propellant burning rates is a perpetual goal of solid propellant designers. Many methods have been used to alter the burning rate including changing the propellant formulation, adding burning rate modifiers, and changing the propellant core shape.

Microstructural damage and fracture processes in a composite solid rocket propellant
Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets, 1995A study has been made of the microstructural damage and fracture processes associated with the fracturetoughness behavior of a polymer-matrix composite solid rocket-propellant material. Specifically, nonlinear-elastic fracture-mechanics tests were performed, as a function of displacement rate and temperature (—54 to 71°C), on center-cracked sheet test ...

An Experimental Assessment of Soil Contamination by Composite Solid Rocket Propellants
AIAA SCITECH 2025 ForumSince the beginning of the space era, solid propulsion has been considered an important technological asset for heavy launchers. Compositions based on ammonium perchlorate represent the current state of the art. The combustion of this class of propellant releases chlorine-based products, though.
