Book excerpt: Thermochemical calculations of seven metallized monopropellants were conducted to quantify theoretical specific impulse and density specific impulse performance. On the basis of theoretical performance, commercial availability of formulation constituents, and anticipated viscometric behavior, two metallized monopropellants were selected for formulation characterization: triethylene glycol dinitrate, ammonium perchlorate, aluminum and hydrogen peroxide, aluminum. Formulation goals were established, and monopropellant formulation compatibility and hazard sensitivity were experimentally determined. These experimental results indicate that the friction sensitivity, detonation susceptibility, and material handling difficulties of the elevated monopropellant formulations and their constituents pose formidable barriers to their future application as metallized monopropellants.
