ABSTRACT
A s follows from the previous chapters, the substances used for the manufacture of composite systems, including solid rocket propellants and powders, are characterized not only by the pronounced variety o f their chemical structure and reactivity but also by the particular difference o f physical properties that, all together, predetermine a variety o f combustion mechanisms. Each o f the components o f a complex system, such as an oxidizer, a combustible binder, a metal, a catalytic or inhibiting additive, and some others, are subjected during combustion to phase and chemical transformations, as well as to a complex interaction with other components, which start in the solid or liquid phase o f a surface layer, continue, and come to an end in the gas phase.
