Role of Diphenylamine as a Stabilizer in Propellants; Analytical Chemistry of Diphenylamine in Propellants (A Survey Report)

Abstract

A comprehensive survey was made of the use of diphenylamine as a stabilizer in propellants. Various schemes that have been proposed for the degradation of diphenylamine in propellants to about 17 nitration products are described in detail. The effectiveness of the different degradation products to continue to act as stabilizers is discussed. The methods of analysis that have been proposed for the determination of diphenylamine and its degradation products in propellants and the status of the military requirements for such determinations are discussed.
