Abstract
The present disclosure generally pertains to green oxidizer compositions and method of synthesizing and using the same. Such green oxidizers are stable, may be used in conventional bipropellant thrusters, including, but not limited to LDACS applications, and offer several benefits over conventional oxidizers with respect to toxicity and/or corrosion. The present disclosure also relates to methods of synthesizing poly-nitrated oxetane, a green oxidizer, in an Argon-rich environment.
Claims6
A method comprising spraying poly-nitrated oxetane and a fuel within a combustion chamber of a thruster, thereby causing the thruster to generate propulsion.
