Thixotropic propellants

Thixotropic gels are also useful as propellants for rocket applications. These are commonly called thixotropes or gels. Normal fuels and oxidizers are converted into thioxotropes by the addition of a small quantity of a gelling agent in order to ensure uniform suspension of solid additives (usually metal additives) during storage. It is reported that if very finely pulverized particles of beryllium or aluminum are suspended in the liquid fuel, it is possible to increase the specific impulse substantially. [Pg.217]

Current common practice is to divide chemical propellants into four classes liquids, solids, hybrids and thixotropes or gels. [Pg.91]
