Studies on the Use of Epoxy Resin Binder in Small Rockets

R. I. Grose

ABSTRACT: A propellant suitable for use in small firework rockets has been developed. The binder used in the composition is an epoxy resin. The composition can be mixed while wet, thus reducing safety hazards. The propellant has been evaluated using a simple lab-built thrust measurement apparatus, and has been shown to have superior performance to Black Powder.

Keywords: rocket, epoxy, thrust measurement
