“…[24] the third peak, also the main exothermic peak, appears at relatively higher temperature of 451.7…”

Nano-metal oxide: potential catalyst on thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate

“…This stimulated the attention of many research groups, especially those dealing with the development of solid propellants, to the problem. The catalytic activity of TMOs in the thermal decomposition of AP has been reported by several researchers [31][32][33][34][35]. It is generally observed that since catalytic activity is primarily a surface phenomenon, size reduction of the catalyst increases the surface area and hence the catalytic activity is also increased.…”

“…The characteristic of the thermal decomposition of AP are believed to influence the performance of CSPs and are remarkably sensitive to additives. The TMOs are used as a burning rate modifier for CSPs [35][36][37]. Two most important crystal modifications of AP are: orthorhombic (region of existence: T5240 C; Figure 1) and cubic one, which is stable at temperatures T4240 C. Heat of phase transition of AP from orthorhombic to cubic modification is 11.3 kJ mol À1 [39].…”

Mixed oxides derived from Cu–Co layered double hydroxide nanorods: Preparation, characterization and their catalytic activities

“…In the first stage, the endothermic peak appears at 251 • C, ascribed to its transition from orthorhombic form to cubic form [25]. In the second stage, the exothermic peak at 320 • C is attributed to the partial decomposition of AP and the formation of an intermediate product [26]. The third peak appears at relatively higher temperature of 462 • C, indicating the further and complete decomposition of the intermediate products [27].…”
