Abstract: Composite solid propellants based on ammonium perchlorate/hydroxyterminated polybutadiene/isophorone dyisocyanate including different contents of hexogen (RDX) have been represented in this paper. The mass of RDX increased in relation to oxidant, with constant bimodal fraction ratio. Combustion of the propellants has been improved by adding of titanium (IV) oxide powder as stabilizer. Parameters of burning rate laws and apparent viscosity values were determined and compared for the propellants of the same total solid phase.

Key words: composite solid propellant, hexogene, titanium (IV) oxide, ballistic behavior
