In this work, a new composition based on Paraffin wax and HTPB fuel, loaded with nanoparticles has been proposed for hybrid propulsion system. Lithium aluminium hydride (LiAlH4) and Magnesium hydride (MgH2) nanoparticles have been used as additives. A detailed rheological, thermal and ballistic char...
