Combustion Characteristics of Crystalline Oxidizers

Abstract

Single crystals have been prepared from ammonium perchlorate (A.P.) solutions containing 20% by weight Ba(ClO4)2. Analyses for Ba(++) content in the crystals are being made. Single crystals of methyl ammonium perchlorate were grown and submitted for combustion testing comparison with pure A. P. A number of new perchlorate and nitrate oxidizers were prepared and characterization was begun. To date, the fastest burning oxidizer has been methyl ammonium perchlorate (2 1/2 times as fast as A. P.; and the slowest has been tetramethyl ammonium nitrate (1/2 as fast as A. P.).
