Coating of High Melting Explosive Particles by Nitrotriazolone to Formulate Composite Nanoparticles by Spray Flash Evaporation

open access: yesPropellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, Volume 50, Issue 11-12, Page 32-39, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The balance between performance and safety of high explosives is at the heart of the current studies, and new ways of combining safety and performance have hence been elaborated. This study focuses on a mixture of 3‐nitro‐1,2,4‐triazol‐5‐one (NTO) and octogen (high melting explosive [HMX]).

A Structural Integrity Perspective for the Assessment of Ageing in Composite Solid Propellants

open access: yesPropellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, Volume 50, Issue 10, Page 152-158, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Composite solid propellants (CSPs) are critical materials in the defence and aerospace industries, known for their complex mechanical behaviour and susceptibility to ageing. This study explores the application of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to discriminate the ageing degradation of CSPs based on structural integrity parameters.
