A solid ramjet fuel composition comprising a functionally terminated fluorocarbon prepolymer, a functionally terminated polybutadiene prepolymer, a curative cross-linking compound for both prepolymers, and metallic fuel.
A process of producing a solid ramjet fuel composition comprising the steps of:
- mixing prepolymers of hydroxyl-terminated fluorocarbon binder (FCB(HT)) and hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTCB), or carboxyl-terminated fluorocarbon binder (FCB(CT) and carboxyl terminated polybutadiene (CTPB);
- mixing said mixed prepolymers with a curative cross-linking compound therefore;
- and
- mixing metallic fuel particles into said mixed prepolymers and curative.
