N2 - Solid composite propellants are extensively used for propulsion of rockets, missiles and space applications. The composite propellant is a polymeric matrix in which the oxidizer and fuel particles are embedded in a polymeric binder. Different composite propellant mixtures have been prepared using ammonium-perchlorate (ratio 70:30) as oxidant and mixture of aluminium powder (ratio 50:50) as metal component. In the present work, RDX (Cyclotrimethylene trinitramine) has been used in successive increments replacing AP (Ammonium Perchlorate) in number of batches by varying the percentage of solid loading, and studied their different properties such as viscosity build-up, mechanical and ballistic properties.
