Abstract

Composite propellant formulations are disclosed having a dinitramide salt oxidizer, such as ammonium dinitramide, an energetic binder, such as poly(glycidyl nitrate), a reactive metal, such as aluminum, and other typical propellant ingredients such as curatives and stabilizers. The disclosed propellant formulations are able to combust aluminum efficiently, possess high burn rates, and produce little or no HCl exhaust gases.
