Properties Desirable in Plastic Propellants with Notes on Methods of Testing

Abstract

This memorandum has been written for the guidance of research teams who may undertake work on plastic propellant. It enumerates what are considered the desirable properties of this kind of propellant. Methods of measurement of the rheological, chemical and ballistic properties, together with an outline of the necessary weapon clearance trials, are briefly discussed.
