composite propellant
Composite propellant is a type of rocket fuel made by combining a solid binder matrix with embedded oxidizer particles, often registered as a flexible, durable material. When ignited, the oxidizer reacts with a fuel component within the binder, producing gases that generate thrust to propel a rocket. This design allows for controllable and stable combustion, and it can be tailored for specific performance needs. Composite propellants are commonly used in space launch vehicles and missile systems due to their efficiency, safety, and ability to be manufactured in various sizes and shapes.
