KINETICS OF DECOMPOSITION OF SOLID OXIDIZERS

Abstract

Fast vacuum pyrolysis techniques were combined with a Bendix Time-of-Flight mass spectrometer for the study of the initial reactions occurring during thermal decomposition in INFO-635, PFABDE, PBEP, NC, and HP2. Primary decomposition mechanisms were postulated, and activation energies calculated. Indications for a heating rate dependence of the decomposition mechanisms were found for INFO-635, PFABDE, and PBEP.
