7.1 INTRODUCTION
Composite propellants are the basic component for development and production of modern propellants. Comparison of composite propellants with double-base propellants indicated that composite propellants have remarkable properties, such as high performance, high density, and superior physical properties for producing large grain; therefore, they are excellent candidates for application in military systems such as strategic ballistic missiles as well as space shuttle boosters in space systems. Bonding agents, as an extremely important component in solid rocket propellants, may affect the processability, mechanical and ballistic properties, safety, aging, and temperature cycles of propellants. Recently, nitramine used as an oxidizer in propellant due to its potential advantages [1].
