Abstract

This study aims to elucidate the potential effect of encapsulated nanothermite on the characteristics and thermo-kinetic features of double base NC/DEGDN propellant. Nitrocellulose was used as a coating material to encapsulate the MgAl–CuO nanothermite, creating a core–shell structure. The prepared energetic formulations were subjected to thorough characterization using various techniques, including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetry analysis, calvet calorimeter analyses, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Experimental results confirmed the uniform distribution of the nitrocellulose-encapsulated MgAl–CuO (NC@MgAl–CuO) particles within the NC/DEGDN matrix. DSC findings highlighted that the addition of NC@MgAl–CuO nanothermite significantly increased the total heat release of the NC/DEGDN propellant from 3787 to 4175 J/g. The kinetic parameters associated with the thermal decomposition of the developed energetic formulations were also predicted using isoconversional kinetic methods, including (TAS, it-KAS, and VYA). Thermokinetic findings demonstrated the notable impact of MgAl–CuO particles coated with NC on the reactivity and catalytic behavior of NC/DEGDN propellant. Specifically, the Arrhenius parameters of NC/DEGDN formulation is decreased by 32% when the NC@MgAl–CuO nanothermite was introduced. Overall, this study serves as a valuable reference for future research focused on the investigation of coated metastable intermolecular composites and their effects on the reactivity and combustion features of solid propellants.
