Ammonium Nitrate, an inorganic solid oxidizer already used in rocket propulsion decades ago, produces environmentally friendly combustion products. It is a very cheap energetic material, but its specific impulse is low compared with that of Ammonium Perchlorate - based propellants. To solve the problems of low ballistic performance of raw AN compositions, Phase Stabilized Ammonium Nitrate was investigated. To overcome the difficulties of low pressure burning, AN and AP co-crystals were also tested.

Abstract
Ammonium Nitrate, an inorganic solid oxidizer already used in rocket propulsion decades ago, produces environmentally friendly combustion products. It is a very cheap energetic material, but its specific impulse is low compared with that of Ammonium Perchlorate - based propellants. To solve the problems of low ballistic performance of raw AN compositions, Phase Stabilized Ammonium Nitrate was investigated. To overcome the difficulties of low pressure burning, AN and AP co-crystals were also tested.File in questo prodotto:
