This paper presents a study, carried out in the framework of the H2020 european project GRAIL, on thermal and catalytic decomposition of a solid ADN/AN mixture. Decomposition pathways of the mixture are proposed thanks to thermal analyses coupled with mass spectrometry. Thirty-four burning rate modifiers have been investigated using thermal analyses. This led to the selection of five candidates considered as promising additives: nano-CuO, CuO, Cr 2 Cu 2 O 5 , ZnO and ferrocene. Finally, a bicatalytic system with nano-CuO and ferrocene was considered for possible improvement of the decomposition. It prove to display a much attractive behavior towards the decomposition of this oxidizer mixture.
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.
