Energetic Deterrents

Deterrents are materials that use in gun propellant formulations as controlling initial burning rate and to prevent of high chamber pressures in the interior ballistic. However, traditional deterrents are highly toxic and suspected carcinogen which makes them chemicals of concern that are non-energetic inert compound and reduce total chemical energy of propellant and reduce final performance of it. Modifying a propellant formulation via replacement current deterrent, can have a marked effect on the toxicity and corrosiveness of the combustion products, the rate of energy release and the cleanness of burning. Using of nitrogen rich energetic materials with low burning rate as new deterrents can improve burning properties of propellant without reduce total energy content.
