Performance of Solid Propellants Containing Organic Borohydride Metal Additives

Abstract

This chapter covers the effect of hydroborate metal additives, such as hydroborate iron salt (BH–Fe), hydroborate copper salt (BH–Cu), hydroborate lead salt (BH–Pb), etc. on the properties of composite and fuel-rich propellants. The properties of solid propellants with and without hydroborate metal additives are also evaluated from the SEM, surface and interface properties, thermal decomposition and combustion diagnosis aspects.
