The problem of sluggish combustion reactivity of Boron (B) can be overcome by inclusion of fluoropolymers. In this paper, three commercial fluoropolymers; PVDF (59 wt% F), Viton (66 wt% F) and THV (72 wt% F) coated (Ca. 4 wt%) B powders (Ca. 1-µm in size) were prepared and their combustion character...
