Nitramine Double Base Propellants
Defence Science Journal, 1996 This review paper broadly covers the studies conducted on nitramine double base (DB) propellants, particularly in the field of formulations, evaluation, catalysis and combustion mechanism . Addition of RDX and HMX in double base matrix shows relatively low burn rates and high paper index values.
