Abstract
The effect of different cresols (o, m, p), resorcinol and pyrogallol in the presence and absence of lead stearate on the burning rates of cast double base propellants has been studied in the 35−140 kg/cm2 pressure range. While their effect is not significant without lead stearate, these phenolic compounds increased burning rates in the presence of lead stearate. Their mode of action is explained on the basis of differential thermal analysis data.
