THE ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING AND PERFORMANCE OF COMPOSITE GUN PROPELLANTS
Reason: The sponsor (SERDP) does not rerquire embargo and the work is fundamental university work. However, the work represents the best work in this area and the Army Research Lab (our partner) has suggested we embargo it. We want to be responsible partners and have agreed with SERDP (sponsor) ARL (partner) and Dr. Steve Son (committee chair) to embargo the thesis. Note that this thesis is not considered export control, it is agreed to only embargo it. Feel free to look at the contract number for confirmation or contact Dr. Steve Son.
FROM THEORY TO APPLICATION: THE ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING AND COMBUSTION PERFORMANCE OF HIGH ENERGY COMPOSITE GUN PROPELLANTS AND THEIR SOLVENTLESS ALTERNATIVES
Additive manufacturing (AM) of gun propellants is an emerging and promising field which addresses the limitations of conventional manufacturing techniques. Overall, this thesis is a body of work which serves to bridge the gap between fundamental research and application of additively manufactured gun propellants.
