(2017-05-02)Composite solid propellants are typically used in rocket propulsion systems due to their simplicity and relatively low cost. They are mixtures of the fuel, oxidizer, and various catalysts. Oftentimes, bonding agents and ...
-
(2017-04-27)The burning rates of IPDI-cured AP/HTPB propellants with a standard curing ratio were analyzed. It is well known that the particle size of AP as well as their concentration greatly affects the burning rate, yet there exists ...

(2014-12-10)Low regression rates in hybrid rockets limit their use and capability, but additive aluminum nano-particles represent a possible solution to this problem. In this thesis, aluminum nano-particles were characterized and added ...

(2018-12-04)Hybrid rockets have distinct advantages over their pure solid or liquid propellant counterparts, but their widespread application has been hindered by characteristically low regression rates and combustion efficiencies. A ...

(2013-07-22)Presented in this thesis is the development of a new method to achieve plateau burning profiles in composite solid propellants. Propellants were formulated using ammonium perchlorate (AP) as the oxidizer and hydroxyl ...
