โฆ Synopsis
Ammonium perchlorate (AP) has been coated with polystyrene (PS), cellulose acetate (CA), Novolak resin and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) by a solvent/nonsolvent method which makes use of the coacervation principle. The effect of polymer coating on AP decomposition has been studied using thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). Polymer coating results in the desensitization of AP decomposition. The observed effect has been attributed to the thermophysical and thermochemical properties of the polymer used for coating. The effect of polystyrene coating on thermal decomposition of aluminium perchlorate trihydrazinate and ammonium nitrate as well as on the combustion of AP-CTPB composite propellants has been studied.

## Abstract In the present work the effect of atmosphere composition on the growth rate and adherence of the alumina scales was studied using freeโstanding MCrAlYโcoatings and TBCโspecimens with MCrAlYโbondcoats. The exposures comprised isothermal and cyclic exposures in laboratory air and ArโH~2~โ
The thermal decomposition of surface oxides formed during the low pressure oxidation of Graphon was studied. Oxidation reactions were performed at 525", 575" and 625ยฐC in a static reactor, using initial 0, pressures between 10 and 200 mtorr. The amount of surface oxide formed was found to increase w
An electric field (100 V/cm at 230ยฐC and 150ยฐC) has been applied to ammonium perchlorate (AP)/polystyrene (PS) propellant mixtures in order to understand the low temperature decomposition behavior of the propellant. The charge-carrying species is anionic in nature at 230ยฐC, which could be CIO4-, but
