  • Burn rate sensitization of solid propellants using a nano-titania additive
    Patent number: 8066834
    Abstract: Adding nanoparticles as a catalyst to solid propellant fuel to increase and enhance burn rates of the fuel by up to 10 times or more and/or modifying the pressure index. A preferred embodiment uses TiO2 nanoparticles mixed with a solid propellant fuel, where the nanoparticles are approximately 2% or less of total propellant mixture. The high surface to volume ratio of the nanoparticles improve the performance of the solid propellant fuel.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 3, 2006
    Date of Patent: November 29, 2011
    Assignee: University of Central Florida Research Foundation, Inc.
    Inventors: Eric Petersen, Jennifer Small, Metthew Stephens, Jason Arvanetes, Sudipta Seal, Sameer Deshpande
