The objective of this program is to design advanced energetic oxidizers superior to ammonium perchlorate (AP), develop methods for their preparation, and characterize the products.
Benefit: The development of improved high energy oxidizers would provide the basis for advanced future generations of rocket propellants. These advances would benefit civilian as well as military applications, i.e., missile defense systems, tactical and strategic missiles, as well as commercial and military space access and strategic systems used in technologies associated with satellites.
Keywords: chemical synthesis, chemical synthesis, Rocket propellants, nitro groups
