Abstract
″, and |η*| increase with increasing submicron-sized CL-20. Despite this, the value of |η*| can be effectively reduced to about the same value as the slurries with bimodal AP by the size gradation of CL-20. In addition, particle porosity appears to be a suitable parameter to predict trends concerning the rheological properties of the GAP propellant slurries.
