Propellant chemistry includes examples from many fields of chemistry—e.g., polymer chemistry, surface chemistry, thermochemistry, and catalysis. References (3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 19, 20, 23, 24, 26) to several standard works that discuss the theory related to these disciplines are included in the Literature Cited. It is assumed that the reader has some acquaintance with these works, and individual references have not been attempted. Likewise, individual propellant formulations have not been given. Selection of a formulation for a particular application depends on the ballistic and physical property requirements, and the technology regarding the selection of a formulation is not the purpose of this paper. This task should be performed by scientists experienced in the technology. 

Chemistry of Polysulfide Polymers. Propellant chemistry based on chemically crosslinked binders had its beginning at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the winter of 1946 when potassium and/or ammonium perchlorate were mixed into Thiokol LP-3 polysulfide liquid polymer, to which had been added an oxidative curative, p-quinone dioxime. This polysulfide polymer, as described by Jorczak and Fettes (13), is prepared...
