Review on Improvement of Thermal Stability and Safety Properties of Ammonium Perchlorate by Polymeric Additives

the most part of the propellants,containig the oxidant and ammonium perchlorate is the most applicable oxidizer in composite solid propellants. Therefore, its thermal decomposition and safety properties have been a great effect on the propellants properties. The using of polymeric additives is one of the proper methods for improving the thermal and immunological properties of ammonium perchlorate. The types of additive are usually selected based on the applicable purpose. This paper reviews, the effects of polymeric additives to improve the sensitivity, the increase of thermal and chemical stability, and also the prevention of ammonium perchlorate particle agglomeration.
