Abstract
The advent and use of advanced eco-friendly energetic materials to obtain higher and higher energy and reduced vulnerability, improved mechanical properties along with reduced signature profile and extended useful life has assumed very high importance these days. Use of new powerful and green oxidizers like ADN, HNF and ammonium ozonide along with energetic binders like GAP, BAMO and BAMO-THF copolymer can boost specific impulse (Is) to more than 320 s. Inclusion of energetic plasticizers like tetra azido malonate and tetra azido glutarate can enhance energy further. Likewise, inclusion of nitrogen-rich compounds like nitro guanidinium azides, N8, N10, etc., can boost energy further on higher side. Addition of nano metal powders and nano metal hydrides is likely to enhance burn rates significantly. Thus, there is need to generate reliable exhaustive technical data on the utility of new eco-friendly materials reported recently to obtain unthinkable boost in energy and burn rates.
