We report the catalytic effect of three ruthenocene bimetallic compounds derived from fused aromatic rings of general formula [{Cp*Ru}2L], with Cp*: pentamethylcyclopentadiene and L = pentalene (1), 2,6-diethyl-4,8-dimethyl-s-indacene (2), and 2,7-diethyl-as-indacene (3), on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP). The new compound 3 was characterized by a combination of multinuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis of compound 3 shows a decrease in the decomposition temperature of AP to 347 ºC, increases the energy release to 2048 J g-1 and, consequently, leads to the lowest activation energy (42.9 kJ mol−1). These results are comparable to the typically used metallocene (catocene: 347 ºC and 2472 J g-1), suggesting a suitable and competitive alternative to be used as a modifier for composite solid propellants.

An effective pathway was explored to design and select proper bonding agents that could effectively improve the interfacial interactions between bonding agents and solid particles, modern types of composite solid propellants focused on increasing the mechanical properties in order to withstand stresses produced due to various loading conditions, changes in environmental condition, transportation and handling. In this work, the study show that the effect of solvent in production of bonding agent has a different impact on the mechanical properties as the polar solvent in formulation S3 has a good strain values corresponding to the stress. Also the changing of the percentage of CuCl2 has a significant effect on mechanical properties as giving high value of strain with the percentage of 4.5 % and returns back the value of strain decrease with increase the percentage of CuCl2 to give the lowest values of the strain corresponding to the stress value with percentage 7.5 %.

In this articlethe the possibility of application of detonation nanodiamond (DND) as a prospective component of composite solid propellants (CSP) and additive approach to optimization of fuel compositions based on binary fuel compositions is considered. The introduction to the fuel composition of DND allows creating a metal-free CSP with increased energy-to-mass characteristics. Usage of the additive approach for calculations when creating new prospective compositions of CSP allows reducing significantly the volume of work to optimize the fuel compositions and to simplify the process of thermodynamic engineering.
