Propellants with increased a specific impulse

Provider: Technologická agentura České republiky
Programme: Podpora aplikovaného výzkumu a experimentálního vývoje EPSILON
Implementation period: 01.01.18 - 31.12.21
Workplace: Fakulta chemicko-technologická - Ústav energetických materiálů

Description:
The proposed project will be divided into three main stages. The first phase of research will be aimed on preparation of cast composite rocket propellants based on ammonium perchlorate and HTPB (hydrox terminated polybutadiene) as a binder. The second phase of the project will be focused on the preparation of pressed composite propellants based on thermoplastics polymers (Kraton, Estane etc.) as a binder. Burning rate of those propellants will be measured at a atmospheric pressure. We suppose utilization of those propellants in the car and aircraft emergency systems. The third phase of the project will be aimed on the preparation of silicone propellants with their using in the temperature range from -100 up to +100 °C.
