Abstract
ABSTRACT The composite solid propellants (CSPs) are extensively used as an energy source in solid rocket motors. In this work, a new precursor of copper was utilized for synthesis of composite oxides (CuCr2O4/CuO) via co-precipitation route in order to improve the properties of CSP formulations. The synthesized catalyst was characterized using SEM/EDAX, ICP/AES, XRD, and XPS techniques. The catalytic activities toward the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate particles were investigated using DSC and TG techniques. Taguchi L-9 orthogonal array design method was exploited for the assessment of the effectiveness of synthesis parameters on the catalytic activities of synthesized composite oxide samples.
