Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the study and development of energetic materials and chemical propulsion systems. Research includes the investigation of composite solid propellants, such as those based on hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene and ammonium perchlorate, and the effects of additives like magnesium diboride and boron on their combustion properties. The scope also encompasses alternative fuel sources and storage methods, including solid-state hydrogen storage using ammonia borane and high-nitrogen energetic materials. Additionally, the journal covers pyrotechnic ignition systems, their impact on propellant surfaces, and the development of low-shock gas generator systems for spacecraft stage separation.
