Abstract

The efficiency of using seven cubane derivatives as dispersing components of solid generator propellants was studied. With cubane, bicubyl, or 1,4-dicubylbenzene used as a propellant dispersant, the aerial vehicle range can be increased to the level considerably exceeding the range reached with other compounds considered for this purpose previously. The use of nitro derivatives of cubane such as 1,4-dinitrocubane, 1,3,5,7-tetranitrocubane, 1,2,3,5,7-pentanitrocubane, and 4-bis(nitroxymethyl)cubane ensures somewhat shorter range than that reached with cubane, bicubyl, or 1,4-dicubylbenzene, but this range is still somewhat longer than when using furazan derivatives as dispersants.
