Toward a Modular 'Ionic Liquid' Platform for the Custom Design of Energetic Materials: Understanding How the Dual Nature of Ionic Liquids Relates Key Physical Properties to Target Structures.

摘要

The Air Force has pressing needs to develop new propellants for aircraft, rockets, and spacecraft. This work is part of the Air Force High Energy Density Matter program and it will help to develop new propellants that can make propulsion systems less expensive, safer, and more efficient. This will result in cost savings and improved mission capabilities for Air Force systems.
