Abstract

The thermal decomposition properties and the heat of combustion (ΔH) of samples with different ammonium perchlorate (AP)/double base propellant (DB) mass ratios under argon atmosphere were studied by the thermogravimetry–differential scanning calorimetry–mass spectrometry–Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (TG–DSC–MS–FTIR) and automatic calorimeter method. The results show that decomposition process of AP/DB samples in negative and zero oxygen balance (OB) is different from that in positive OB. With the increasing of AP in the AP/DB samples, the decomposition of the samples becomes more and more severe. When the OB of the samples is positive, the phenomenon of deflagration or explosion could be observed in the decomposition process. The sample with OB = 0 has the greatest heat of combustion.
