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 ...

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

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
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.

Synthesis and Characterization of an Azido Nitrofurazanyl Ether: An Energy‐Rich Heterocyclic Plasticizer With a Low Glass Transition Temperature

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We report on the synthesis and characterization of 3‐(2‐(2‐azidoethoxy)ethoxy)‐4‐nitro‐1,2,5‐oxadiazole (NFPEG2N3), which is a liquid nitrofurazanyl ether that was designed to be an energy‐rich plasticizer for glycidyl azide polymer (GAP)‐ and nitrocellulose (NC)‐based formulations.

Cobalt‐Based Metal Hybrid Encapsulated Micro‐Aluminum for Tailoring Combustion in Composite Solid Propellants

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT To address the issues of aluminum (Al) powder agglomeration during combustion and low oxidizer decomposition efficiency in composite solid propellants, this study utilized in situ self‐assembly technology to prepare cobalt‐based hybrid‐coated modified Al powder (Al@CZ).

Comparative Assessment of Energetic Plasticizers Including NFPEG3N3 in a GAP/HMX Formulation: Mechanics, Stability, Combustion, and Performance

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 269-276, February 2026.
ABSTRACT We examine the new energetic plasticizer 3‐(2‐(2‐(2‐azidoethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)‐4‐nitro‐1,2,5‐oxadiazole (NFPEG3N3), three reference compounds (BDNPA/F, Bu‐NENA, and DNDA‐57), and a plasticizer‐free control in a fixed HMX/GAP composite. NFPEG3N3 provides the strongest low‐temperature properties, yielding the lowest formulation glass transition ...

Rheological Characterization of Low and High‐Solids‐Loaded Suspensions Using Capillary Rheometry

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 144-156, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Controlled extrusion of viscous liquids with suspended solids depends critically on rheology. The rheology of a binder (9:1 mass ratio of cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) to triacetin with a 55 wt.% diethyl ketone balance) loaded with dilute (0–15 wt.%) and concentrated (≥50 wt.%) granulated sugar loadings from three particle size ...
