Abstract

Stabilisers are an integral part of a propellant composition. They are essential for ensuring the chemical stability of nitrate‐ester based propellants, preventing oxidation, chain scission and uncontrolled heat generation. Progress is being made, especially in Europe, with REACh legislation (1907/2006) to use more environmentally‐friendly compounds. New stabilisers with a greener environmental profile and producing less toxic daughter products have been investigated by several groups, and several compounds demonstrated even better performances – more chemical stability and therefore longer shelf lives than formulations with the currently‐used stabilisers. Additionally, the good efficiencies and lower toxicities of the daughter products of the “green” stabilisers are also evaluated. This paper is a continuation of our previous work and demonstrates that for industrially‐manufactured propellants, that the tests performed by four different entities validate the stability and compatibility of the propellants, investigated previously on a laboratory scale, providing the community with safer formulations for the environment and health.

向 "绿色 "推进剂迈进--第三部分

稳定剂是推进剂成分不可或缺的一部分。它们对于确保硝酸酯类推进剂的化学稳定性、防止氧化、链断裂和失控发热至关重要。随着 REACh 法规（1907/2006）的颁布，使用更环保的化合物的工作正在取得进展，尤其是在欧洲。一些研究小组对更环保、产生的子产品毒性更低的新型稳定剂进行了研究，其中一些化合物的性能甚至更好--与目前使用的稳定剂相比，化学稳定性更高，因此保质期更长。此外，还评估了 "绿色 "稳定剂子产品的良好功效和较低毒性。本文是我们之前工作的延续，证明了对于工业生产的推进剂，四个不同实体进行的测试验证了之前在实验室规模上调查的推进剂的稳定性和兼容性，为社会提供了对环境和健康更安全的配方。

期刊介绍： Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics (PEP) is an international, peer-reviewed journal containing Full Papers, Short Communications, critical Reviews, as well as details of forthcoming meetings and book reviews concerned with the research, development and production in relation to propellants, explosives, and pyrotechnics for all applications. Being the official journal of the International Pyrotechnics Society, PEP is a vital medium and the state-of-the-art forum for the exchange of science and technology in energetic materials. PEP is published 12 times a year. PEP is devoted to advancing the science, technology and engineering elements in the storage and manipulation of chemical energy, specifically in propellants, explosives and pyrotechnics. Articles should provide scientific context, articulate impact, and be generally applicable to the energetic materials and wider scientific community. PEP is not a defense journal and does not feature the weaponization of materials and related systems or include information that would aid in the development or utilization of improvised explosive systems, e.g., synthesis routes to terrorist explosives.
