Modified Ammonium Perchlorate Incorporating Potassium, Permanganate, and Dichromate Dopants

Abstract

The present study of ammonium perchlorate which is grown as whisker crystals from porous glass by a recently discovered process is extended to doped ammonium perchlorate. The selection of dopants in whisker ammonium perchlorate is limited initially to those materials capable of isomorphic substitution in the ammonium perchlorate lattice structure. These dopants include potassium perchlorate, ammonium permanganate, and ammonium dichromate. The characterization of the doped whisker ammonium perchlorate is reported together with burning rate data of propellant incorporating the doped oxidizer.
