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.

High-nitrogen azotetrazole based pyrogen gas generating propellants: Aspects on synthesis, characterization, combustion characteristics and kinetics

FirePhysChem
Propellant formulations containing a novel high nitrogen azotetrazole salt viz., diammonium 5,5′-azotetrazolate (DAAzT) along with two different binders viz., hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) and glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) were realized as ...

Combustion characteristics of cross-linked fluorinated polymer supported aluminum/oxidizer microsphere in HTPB propellant

FirePhysChem, 2022
Combustion behaviors of propellant depend heavily on the architecture of the pocket bounded by coarse AP particles. In order to achieve a better control of the meso-scale architecture of the pocket, overcoming random mixing of the fine particles inside ...

A Shock‐Tube Study of the HCl + M →$\to $ H + Cl + M (M = Ar) Rate Constant Using HCl Laser Absorption Near 3.3 µm

International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, Volume 58, Issue 7, Page 371-382, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Hydrogen chlorine (HCl) is an important combustion intermediate during plastic (municipal waste) and composite propellant (aerospace) combustion, but the understanding of its high‐temperature chemistry is still evolving. In this study, the pyrolysis of 0.5% HCl in Ar was investigated behind reflected shock waves in a shock tube at temperatures

Controllable Energy Release of Boron@Tannic Acid@Ammonium Perchlorate Energetic Microunits Governed by Cu Single Atoms

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Controllable energy release in solid propellants has always been a challenging technology, and extensive efforts have been devoted to the synthesis and application of catalysts to achieve its controllable release. In this study, tannic acid (TA) and its complexes (TA‐Cu) were introduced into boron@ammonium perchlorate (B@AP) composites using ...

Hydroxyl‐Terminated Polybutadiene‐Based Molding Powders as an Alternative Route for Manufacturing Pressed Polymer‐Bonded Explosives

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, Volume 51, Issue 6, Page 955-965, June 2026.
This study presents an alternative method to manufacture polymer‐bonded explosives by partially curing an HTPB‐based molding powder prior to compaction. The study shows that the length of partial cure time before compaction directly influenced the geometric fidelity, homogeneity, compressive strength, density, and internal microstructure.

Research on mechanical properties of HTPB propellants

Journal of Physics: Conference Series
Abstract Slat propellants with different sizes and shapes are designed to investigate the strength criteria of HTPB propellants. According to the calculation and simulation results, with the increase of multiple, the designed size slat specimens can achieve equivalent biaxial tensile stress ratios of 1:2, 1:2.5, 1:3, 1:3.5, and 1:4 under
