Several combustible cartridge case (CCC) formulations containing nitrocellulose (NC) as an energetic ingredient with diphenylamine (DPA) as stabiliser, cellulose fiber as reinforcing material and polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) as a binder are processed to form combustible discs. A formulation containing nitrocellulose (83 parts), cellulose (17 parts) , PVAc (20 parts) and diphenylamine (1 part) by weight was observed with the improvement of mechanical properties without any adverse effect on combustion characteristics, safety parameters and compatibility with triple base multi-tubular propellant. Dynamic firing performance was also satisfactory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
