Synthesis and Characterization of New Energetic Salts.

摘要

As growing concerns arise over the use of hydrazine in monopropellant systems, alternatives to replace it are being sought by several investigators in the field. At AFRL, we have been pursuing the use of energetic salts as viable monopropellant ingredients. They have several inherent advantages over hydrazine, including essentially no vapor pressure, which results in low vapor toxicities, significantly higher densities overall, significantly higher performing materials.
