Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a nitrocellulose-based propellant composition comprising: (a) a nitrate ester-based propellant comprising nitrocellulose; and (b) a stabiliser comprising a non-aromatic compound (12) consisting of a general ionone formula (12-I), (12-II), (12-III) or (12-IV): wherein R1 represents a ketone, hydroxyl, carboxyl, aldehyde or an unsaturated alkyl group, preferably —C(O)CH3 (corresponding to alpha, beta, gamma and pseudo ionone).
