Abstract
A solution comprising nitrocellulose and a nitramine consisting of either X (Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-s-triazine), HMX (Octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-s-tetrazine), or mixtures thereof is dissolved in a volatile, liquid acetate ester, evaporated at room temperature to form a film, and then dried. The resulting material is a homogeneous, hydrogen-bonded complex of nitrocellulose and the nitramine, useful as an energetic propellant.
