“…For the first few decades, the development of the chemistry of solid composite propellants was aimed at creating oxidizers with a high oxygen content, in order, due to the latter, to ensure heat was released during the oxidation of a hydrocarbon binder to CO 2 and water, and metal to the oxide. These oxidants were ammonium nitrate (AN), ammonium perchlorate (AP), and dinitramine ammonium salt (ADN) [1]. Since they all had low values of the enthalpy of formation (in the AN-AP-ADN series, grows from -1080 to -270 kcal/kg), a sharp increase in the specific impulse (I sp ) was achieved by introducing metals into the propellant (especially Be, Al, and B) [2].…”
