Modern rocket propellants contain inter alia nitroamines (i.e. RDX, HMX). Therefore, the detonation properties of composite solid propellants are very important for good functioning of rocket motors and for storage. One of the new materials of that kind, with low sensitivity, is FOX-7 which was applied here as one of the components of composite solid propellant. This paper presents the thermodynamical calculations and thermochemical research results as well as the results of a study of transition into detonation of an aluminized composite propellant containing HMX. The said properties were compared with those of a propellant containing FOX-7.
