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 ...

Low‐Temperature Mesoscopic Mechanical Damage of AP/Al/HTPB Composite Propellants

International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
To investigate the mechanical damage of solid propellants under low‐temperature conditions, an equivalent modeling approach was employed to establish a mesoscopic particle–embedded model of the hydroxyl‐terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) propellant. Uniaxial tensile numerical simulations were conducted on the propellant under varying strain rates and ...

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

Propellants, 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]).
