ENERGETIC MATERIALS AND METAL BORIDES FOR SOLID PROPELLANT ROCKET ENGINES

Abstract

Energetic materials are a kind of materials involving a huge amount of chemical energy and they can release this energy suddenly or slower. In this review study, types, usage areas and compositions of energetic materials are explored. Especially, energetic materials for solid propellant rocket motors are evaluated more extensively. The advantages and synthesis techniques of metal borides as an alternative to fuel in solid propellant rocket engines are criticized in the light of the relevant literature. It is concluded that, metal borides, particularly aluminum and magnesium borides, are promising materials as solid rocket engine fuel. However, new methods should be developed for the synthesis of higher amount and purity of metal boride.
