Metal–Fluorocarbon Pyrolants: VIII.1‡ Behavior of Burn Rate and Radiometric Performance of two Magnesium/Teflon/Viton (MTV) Formulations upon Addition of Graphite§

Ernst-Christian Koch Abstract: The burn rate, u (mm s−1) of fuel rich magnesium/Teflon/Viton (MTV) is increased by 23-36 % upon addition of 5 wt% graphite whereas the spectral efficiency Eβ (J g−1 sr−1) remains largely unaffected.
