Condensed combustion products from burning of nanoaluminum-based propellants: properties and formation mechanism

The experimental results obtained within a joint international research eort regarding the formation of condensed combustion products from nanoaluminum-based solid propellants (SPs) are reported. Data on the size, structure, chemical composition, and quantity of condensed com- bustion products (CCPs) as well as conditions of their formation are discussed. On the basis of the collected experimental data, a general physical picture of condensed combustion products formation is por- trayed. The results of this study allow carrying out the analysis of good quality propellants using nanoaluminum.
