Abstract: Abstract The decomposition characteristics of five candidate polysulfide (LP-33) based ramjet solid fuel formulations are evaluated using thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The formulations are variants on the polymer crosslink mechanism and the doping… read more here.
