APPLICATION OF DTA TO THE THERMAL DECOMPOSITION OF PROPELLANT AND PROPELLANT INGREDIENTS

Abstract

The use of differential thermal analysis in the study of propellants and propellant ingredients is discussed in depth. Variables influencing the analyses are cited along with a complete description of the equipment and procedure for analysis. Analyses were divided into 5 major groups: (1) solids, (2) liquids, (3) monomers and polymers, (4) mixtures and (5) propellants. Exemplary thermograms are presented and discussed for each group. Although a majority of the work was in the field of N-F compounds and N-F propellants, other materials of current interest have been analyzed.
