B powders are commonly used as fuel in propellants due to their high theoretical gravimetric heat of combustion. However, the formation of viscous B2O3 layer during B combustions acts as a passivating layer that hinders the combustion efficiency. The aim of this work is to evaluate the SHS (self-...
