Bi-metallic nanocomposites of Mn with very high catalytic activity for burning rate enhancement of composite solid propellants

Bimetallic nanocomposites of Mn with Co, Ni and Zn were successfully synthesized. The nanocomposites showed very high activity as burning rate catalysts for composite solid propellants (CSPs) and were found to catalyse condensed phase thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate.
