Abstract
The purpose of this paper is the investigation of the catalytic effect of graphene oxide–copper oxide nanocomposite (GCNC) on the thermal comportment and decomposition reaction kinetics of a double-base propellant (DBP) formulation. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to conduct the thermal analysis. Using well-known iso-conversional kinetics methods, namely, Vyazovkin's nonlinear integral with compensatory effect (VYA/CE), Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS), and Flynn–Wall–Ozawa (FWO), the thermokinetic parameters for the investigated propellant, including activation energy and frequency factor, were estimated. Additionally, based on the results obtained from the kinetic analysis, the critical ignition temperature was calculated. The results showed that after the addition of GCNC, the activation energy barrier is lowered by 18%, and the critical ignition temperature is reduced.
期刊介绍:
As the leading archival journal devoted exclusively to chemical kinetics, the International Journal of Chemical Kinetics publishes original research in gas phase, condensed phase, and polymer reaction kinetics, as well as biochemical and surface kinetics. The Journal seeks to be the primary archive for careful experimental measurements of reaction kinetics, in both simple and complex systems. The Journal also presents new developments in applied theoretical kinetics and publishes large kinetic models, and the algorithms and estimates used in these models. These include methods for handling the large reaction networks important in biochemistry, catalysis, and free radical chemistry. In addition, the Journal explores such topics as the quantitative relationships between molecular structure and chemical reactivity, organic/inorganic chemistry and reaction mechanisms, and the reactive chemistry at interfaces.
