Abstract An ammonium perchlorate (AP) and copper(II) benzoate pyrotechnic blue-flame composition was gradually “diluted” by adding an experimental perchlorate-free blue-flame composition based on aminoguanidinium nitrate (AGN), malachite, PVC powder and shellac resin. Flame’s luminous intensity and specific luminous intensity were recorded and analyzed. A copper-aminoguanidinium (CuAG) complex was also synthesized and tested as an energetic additive in perchlorate-free blue-flame composition. Green-flame color was observed when testing chlorine-free energetic compositions with CuAG.

ABSTRACTAs part of a cooperation between several TNO institutes, including TNO Prins Maurits Laboratory, recently a new initiative on nanotechnology was started. The research subjects within this initiative can be roughly divided into two areas: (1) Instrumentation for analysis and manufacture at nano-scale and (2) Nanoscale engineering techniques to create materials and components (including their applications). Currently the research at TNO Prins Maurits Laboratory is focusing on the application of reactive nanomaterials to decontaminate surfaces from e.g. bacteria or toxic chemicals, the use of plasma's to generate nanomaterials like carbon nanotubes, and the application and characterization of nanomaterials in energetic formulations (e.g. explosives, propellants and pyrotechnic compositions). In this paper results on the latter subject will be presented in more detail. Also results will be included of other research projects involved with energetic/reactive nanomaterials.

The goal of this research is to obtain experimental information about combustion characteristics of the composite propellant containing various metallic fuels. The propellant formulations contained two fractions of ammonium perchlorate (64.6%), inert binder (19.7%) - butadiene rubber SKD plastized with transformer oil, and metal fuel (15.7% of aluminum ASD-4, ASD-6, Alex; boron; aluminum diboride; aluminum dodecaboride; some mixtures of above listed ingredients). Experimental information will be used further as a background to develop the physical and mathematical model of combustion process.
