Abstract

The oxidizer and fuel components of propellant and explosive charges are bound within a polymer matrix to form a structurally sound composite shape of uniform consistency by comminuting and admixing the polymer and oxidizer and fuel components at cryogenic temperatures, compacting the mixture into a desired shape and warming the shaped compact to at least ambient temperatures. In one preferred embodiment, propellant charges for rockets and munitions and the like are fabricated by pressing or extruding a polymer-oxidizer-fuel mixture into selected shapes.
