Thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate based mixture with fullerenes

TLDR
In this paper, the effects of fullerenes including fellerene soot (FS), extracted fullerene SOot (EFS) and pure C60 on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) compared with traditional carbon black (CB) catalyst has been studied by employing thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), infrared spectroscopy (IR) and ignition temperature experiments.
Abstract
The effects of fullerenes, including fellerene soot (FS), extracted fullerene soot (EFS) and pure C60 on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) compared with traditional carbon black (CB) catalyst has been studied by employing thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), infrared spectroscopy (IR) and ignition temperature experiments. The results showed that the addition of CB and FS to AP reduced the activation energy as well as the temperature at maximum decomposition rate, but that of EFS and pure C60 had little effect on the thermal decomposition of AP, and among all catalysts, FS was the best one.

Improvement of thermal decomposition properties of ammonium perchlorate particles using some polymer coating agents

TL;DR: In this paper, the optimum conditions for modification of thermal decomposition properties of ammonium perchlorate (AP) particles through microencapsulation techniques were investigated, and the results revealed that AP particles could be effectively coated with both nitrocellulose and viton, but the latter significantly attenuated heat of decomposition of AP so NC was chosen as an appropriate coating agent for modifying thermal properties of AP.
