Burning rates of phenol-formaldehyde composite propellants based on NH4CI04, KCIO4, NaNOa, and KNO a oxidisers are measured under the pressure of nitrogen at 1-95 atm. The burning rate laws of the type (P[r) = (a + bP) and (P/r) = (a + bP21 a) are tested. It is revealed that the latter gives a super

✦ Synopsis
Polymers of o-, m-, and p-nitrophenols with formaldehyde were used as fuel binders in composite propellants based on NH 4C]O 4 and KCIO 4 oxidizers. A study of the burning rate in nitrogen has revealed the occurrence of a breakpoint at about 3-5 atm in the burning rate-pressure curves of all six types of composite propellants that contained nitrosubstituted phenolic resins as fuel binders.

Various theories [1,2] have been proposed for the pressure dependence of burning rate of composite propellants since a knowledge of this pressure dependence is vital for the design of a solid propellant rocket motor. Recently, Girdhar and Arora [3] have measured the burning rate of phenol-formaldehy
While burning at subatmospheric pressure, composite propellants generally fume and under certain conditions eject partially reacted particles. This characteristic property is exploited in this study to understand the mechanism of burning rate modification. The additives CuCr204, Fe203, Sb2 03, AI(OH
Evidence has been presented in this study that binder thermal degradation is rate limiting at low pressures (2-7 MPa) in HTPB/AP propellant combustion when catalyzed by copper chromite, Cr(Salen-N-decyl)3, and copper phthalocyanine. The condensed phase chemistry governing binder degradation is proba
