Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In order to provide a zirconium boride that provides high caloric value at the time of its combustion with a compound having radicals such as perchlorate and can combust in a short period of time, while providing high physical stability, an amount of radical derived from lattice defect detected by ESR spectroscopy, is set to 0.1×1015 spin/mg or more.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A zirconium boride composition comprising: zirconium boride as a principal component; carbon, the carbon being from 1 to 15% by weight; a heat generation peak between 400 and 600° C.; and a heat generation rate of 10 μV/mg or more, wherein the heat generation peak and the heat generation rate are measured by a TG-DTA analysis, the TG-DTA analysis is performed in a nitrogen atmosphere for a mixture thereof with potassium perchlorate, and a resultant characteristic temperature increase curve determined by the TG-DTA analysis defines the heat generation peak and the heat generation rate. 2. The zirconium boride composition of claim 1 , wherein the zirconium boride composition comprises zirconium boride as a principal component and carbon; and the carbon is from 3 to 12% by weight. 3. The zirconium boride composition of claim 1 , wherein the zirconium boride composition has a specific surface area ranging from 5 to 50 m 2 /g.
