PROPELLANT COMPOSITIONS FOR TWO COLOR INFRARED FLARES COMPRISING CARBON NANOTUBES

摘要

The present invention relates to a propellant composition having a high two color ratio, and to a use thereof. The propellant composition of the present invention comprises at least 2.0 wt% of carbon nanotubes, and induces maximum infrared intensity of 5,000 W/Sr when burnt. Also, the propellant composition results in a ratio of mid-infrared radiation intensity to near-infrared radiation intensity of at least 6. Thus, the propellant composition of the present invention is effectively applied to a two color infrared flare, and can be used to infrared counter countermeasures (IRCCM).
