    Date of Patent: July 13, 1982
    Assignee: Peter Stang
    Inventor: Albert T. Camp
  • Method of reinforcing propellant charge
    Patent number: 4321220
    Abstract: A method for strengthening a propellant charge by incorporating a support ructure in the propellant charge comprises slowly traversing a flexible perforated material through a propellant lacquer until the desired loading is obtained. Reinforcement by this technique makes possible the use of a double base propellant in high-thrust, short-burning applications.

    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy
    Inventor: Albert T. Camp
  • Plateau propellant compositions
    Patent number: 4239561
    Abstract: The addition of monobasic cupric .beta.-resorcylate to a double base propant plasticized by only nitrate esters having primary nitroxy groups in order to obtain a plateau burning characteristic.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 29, 1973
    Date of Patent: December 16, 1980
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy
    Inventors: Albert T. Camp, Elmer R. Csanady, Paul R. Mosher
  • Liquid monopropellants containing dissolved combustion modifiers
    Patent number: 4214929
    Abstract: At least one combustion modifier is incorporated in liquid propellants by ssolving the modifier in at least one solvent such as alkoxypolyethylene glycol ether or a bis(alkoxypolyethylene glycol) formal to form a solution and mixing the resulting solution with the energetic component of the liquid propellant. Similar solutions of combustion modifier are also suitable for use as casting liquids in cast double-base propellants.
