The infrared spectral characteristics of high-intensity IR solid propellant were measured in this paper using a Bruker EQUINOX55 remote sensing FTIR spectrometer. The emission spectra of the combustion flame were recorded in the range of 4700-1800 cm(-1) with a spectral resolution of 4 cm(-1). The combustion temperatures of solid propellant at the burning time of 0, 9, 18, 27 and 36 s calculated from the molecular rotation-vibration spectra were 1992.5, 1610.9, 2294.4, 2361.1 and 1916.9 K, respectively. Moreover, the spectral radiance distributions of the high IR flare material at different times were given, and the combustion product concentrations of HCl, HF, CO2 and CO were determined quantitatively. Results showed that remote sensing FTIR is a potential technology that can be applied to the measurement of IR spectral characteristics, especially to the identification of the IR objects, guidance and anti-guidance in the military, and the modification of the make-up of solid propellant.

Advanced energetic composites possess promising properties and wide-ranging applications in explosives and propellants. Nonetheless, most metal-based energetic composites present significant challenges due to surface oxidation and low-pressure output. This study introduces a facile method to develop energetic composites Cutztr@AP through the intermolecular assembly of nitrogen-rich energetic coordination polymers and high-energy oxidant ammonium perchlorate (AP).

Enhancing the decomposition rate of ammonium perchlorate (AP), the most common oxidizer in solid propellants, is important for improving propellant performance. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been developed as key materials for catalyzing AP decomposition, as they can achieve good dispersion of active sites through in-situ decomposition. Despite having considerable potential, the structural transformation process and catalytic performance of MOFs in AP decomposition are still unclear, which seriously hinders their application in the field of AP decomposition.

To enhance the energy release of Al powder in solid propellant, ploy (difluoroaminomethyl-3-methylethoxybutane) (PDF), which has difluoroamino (NF), was utilized to improve energy and promote combustion efficiency. In this study, Al with three distinct powder sizes (29 μm, 13 μm, and 1~3 μm) was coated with PDF using the solvent/non-solvent method, leading to the formation of Al/PDF composites. The morphology and characteristics of Al/PDF were then characterized.

Energetic ionic liquids have a high potential to replace the traditional monopropellant hydrazine as a high-energy green propellant and can be widely used in aerospace technology. A high-energy ionic liquid─HEHN has also gained extensive attention from researchers. To explore the reaction mechanism of HEHN and establish a chemical kinetic model for high-energy ionic liquid propellants, 28 hydrogen abstraction reactions of HEH, which is the main decomposition product of HEHN, were investigated in this study.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed new smokeless propellants using an absorption rolling method, enhancing thermal stability by replacing nitroglycerin (NG) with -butyl--nitratoethyl nitramine (Bu-NENA).
- The study used various testing methods to analyze thermal stability, combustion characteristics, and the effects of Bu-NENA on burning rates and flame temperatures.
- Results indicated that while increasing Bu-NENA improved thermal stability, it also lowered the burning rate and flame temperature due to heat absorption during its volatilization.
