Thermally Stable Burning Rate Accelerators

Abstract

Experiments have shown that the thermal stability of propellants is a direct function of UFAP and catalyst concentration. A new thermally stable catalyst has been synthesized and is undergoing preliminary evaluation. Indications are that fast burning propellants (2.5 in/sec at 1000 psi) can be made using up to 30% UFAP and up to 3% catalyst.
