Abstract:An electrochemical mechanism of accelerating the burn rate of pyrotechnic compositions and composite propellants is presented. Magnesium-Teflon-graphite fluoride-graphite (MTGFG) compositions were used as the model system to demonstrate the effect. Electric currents are generated in situ by electrochemical cell reactions in the composition itself by introducing materials with differing
electrochemical potentials and an electrolyte into the composition. Electric currents flow through
the combusting surface, whe… Show more
