Abstract
Humidity and temperature may impact the physical properties of Basic Copper Nitrate (BCN), (Cu2(OH)3(NO3), BCN) inorganic particles. The use of hydrophobic surface coatings on these inorganic particles have been found to protect and/or minimize the amount of surface degradation over a period of time.
Claims17
1) Basic Copper Nitrate (BCN) particles, of the chemical formula Cu2(OH)3(NO3), for use in ballistic and gas generant applications, wherein said particles are coated with a hydrophobic surface coating.
10) A ballistic basic copper nitrate composition treated with a hydrophobic surface modifying substance.
