Energy capabilities of some pentazole salts as components of model composite solid propellants

The energy capabilities of five pentazole salts as fillers for composite solid propellants (СSP) were studied. Of these, only hydroxylammonium pentazolate (IV) turned out to be a relatively good component for creating model СSPs. Compound IV is superior to HMX in terms of Ief(3) both in a binary composition with an active binder and in similar compositions with the addition of AP, ADN or Al. Lithium, ammonium, hydrazinium and 1,4,5-triaminotetrazolium pentazolates are inferior to HMX as the main filler for CSP.
