A round of ammunition is formed by molding multiple layers of propellant about the sides and rear of a projectile providing an inner layer of conventional propellant enclosed within an outer layer composed of a mixture of a polynitroaromatic material, such as diaminotrinitrobenzene (DATB), as the primary oxidizer, and a phosphorus-containing hydroxy-terminated polyether binder.

Caseless ammunition

A fuel-rich solid propellant gas generator is provided containing about 50 to 70% by weight of a boron fuel and about 30 to 50% by weight of an energetic binder containing a polymer of a dinitrofluoromethyl epoxide of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is alkylene of 1 to 4 carbon atoms.

Fuel rich solid propellant of boron and a fluoro-nitro-epoxide polymer

A method for effecting the cure of poly(glycidyl 2,2-dinitro-2-fluoroethoxide) by utilizing tris (B-isocyanoethyl) nitromethane as a curing agent.

Method for curing poly(glycidyl 2,2-dinitro-2-ethoxide)

Propellant inhibitors are provided for cellulose-containing particulate solid propellants, and particularly for nitrocellulose-containing gun propellants, in which the inhibitor is the reaction product of a polyfunctional isocyanate such as polymethylene polyphenyl isocyanate and a polyol such as polyethylene glycol.
