Abstract
Ammonium nitrate has been attracting attention over the years as an oxidizer for clean gas-generating agents. Aminoguanidinium 5,5′-azobis-1H-tetrazolate was mixed with ammonium nitrate to improve its burning performance and the burning behavior of the formulations was studied by measuring the linear burning rate. The effects of particle size and composition ratio on the burning rate were studied. It was found that the mixture containing 50% ammonium nitrate by weight was the most promising composition. The particle sizes of fuel and oxidizer do not influence the burning rate.Keywords
