The present invention provides a propellant for electrothermal-chemical guns comprising a dispersion of one or more energetic solids in an energetic liquid phase. The energetic solid is preferably a nitramine such as cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) and the energetic liquid component is preferably a homogeneous liquid that is either aqueous or non-aqueous. Aqueous liquid phases suitable for use in the present invention include concentrated solutions containing at least one nitrate salt. Non-aqueous liquid phases suitable for use include those that contain nitrate ester, nitramine, nitro or azido compounds or mixtures thereof. These propellants provide a high level of energy density because of the use of energetic ingredients and the high loading density allowed with a liquid propellant. The presence of a dispersed solid phase within the continuous liquid phase also permits control of the burning behavior of the propellant by variation of the interfacial area between phases.

Crash Bag Propellant Composition And Method For Generating Nitrogen Gas
A propellant composition and method for limiting the corrosive properties of by-products from initiated crash bag propellant compositions comprising a 1(a) or 2(a) group metal azide salt, an oxidizer in the form of an oxide of a non-toxic transition metal element, and an effective amount of a modifier component of the formula Me. sub. x (An). sub. o wherein Me is a metal cation selected from iron, copper, cobalt, nickel, and molybdenum; An is an anion group which is chemically compatible with and capable of reacting with the metal of the azide salt to form nitrogen gas and non-toxic by-products less corrosive than the corresponding hydroxide of the azide metal would be; and x and o are individually defined as a positive number not exceeding about 4, the sum of which does not exceed about 5.
Extrudable Gas Generating Propellants, Method And Apparatus

Crash Bag Propellant Composition And Method For Generating Nitrogen Gas
A propellant composition and method for limiting the corrosive properties of by-products from initiated crash bag propellant compositions comprising a 1(a) or 2(a) group metal azide salt, an oxidizer in the form of an oxide of a non-toxic transition metal element, and an effective amount of a modifier component of the formula Me. sub. x (An). sub. o wherein Me is a metal cation selected from iron, copper, cobalt, nickel, and molybdenum; An is an anion group which is chemically compatible with and capable of reacting with the metal of the azide salt to form nitrogen gas and non-toxic by-products less corrosive than the corresponding hydroxide of the azide metal would be; and x and o are individually defined as positive numbers appropriate to indicate the correct chemical formula.
In the polymerization of 1-olefins using a solid catalyst component composed of a titanium trichloride and an activator component composed of a trialkylaluminum, the stereospecificity of the catalyst is increased by replacing a portion of the trialkylaluminum in the activator component with a dialkylaluminum dialkylphosphate.
Ignition Modifying Overcoat For Deterrent-Coated Smokeless Propellant
Method and coating composition for promoting ignition of deterrent-coated smokeless propellant by applying thereto a nitrocellulose-based igniter component as an overcoat.
Enhancement Of Emulsification Rate Using Combined Surfactant Composition
Method for facilitating the formation and stability of invert water-in-oil emulsion blasting agents by use of a combination of certain surfactants; and corresponding formulations.

Uranus is weird, so its always been uncertain how much the magnetic field actually interacts with its satellites, explained principal investigator Richard Cartwright, an astronomer at Johns Hopkins. For starters, it is tilted by 98 degrees relative to the ecliptic.

Webb Telescope Reveals the Possibility of a Hidden Ocean on a Uranus Moon
The James Webb Space Telescope collected chemical spectra from the moon. Then, a research team led by Richard Cartwright from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) compared them to simulated mixtures. Upon comparison, the researchers discovered that Ariel contains some of the most carbo
