Review of Recent Compatibility and Stability Studies on Hydrazinium Diperchlorate

摘要

Recent developments in hydrazinium diperchlorate (HP-2) chemistry are reviewed and related to solid propellant behavior. The reactions of HP-2 with model compounds and actual propellant ingredients are discussed with special attention paid to those interactions leading to gas generation, homopolymerization of binder components, oxidizer decomposition, cure reaction inhibition, and cure linkage destruction. The details of studies on the compatibility of HP-2 with NF systems are reviewed and conclusions reported. These fundamental chemical observations are then discussed in terms of large motor behavior.
