Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure generally pertains to green oxidizer compositions and method of synthesizing and using the same. Such green oxidizers are stable, may be used in conventional bipropellant thrusters, including, but not limited to LDACS applications, and offer several benefits over conventional oxidizers with respect to toxicity and/or corrosion. The present disclosure also relates to methods of synthesizing poly-nitrated oxetane, a green oxidizer, in an Argon-rich environment.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

Now, therefore, the following is claimed: 1. A method comprising spraying poly-nitrated oxetane and a fuel within a combustion chamber of a thruster, thereby causing the thruster to generate propulsion. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the combustion chamber is heated prior to the spraying the poly-nitrated oxetane and the fuel. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fuel is hydrazine. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fuel is an ionic liquid fuel. 5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the fuel is HGF-A. 6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the fuel is HGF-B.
