The combustion zones of doublebase propellant strands and their dependence on pressure were studied by different photographic techniques to get new information on the action of ballistic modifiers. Photos of short exposure time were taken from the foam, dark and flame zones. The extinguished burning surface was studied by optical and scanning electron microscopes. A detailed picture on the production of carbonaceous material on the burning surface was obtained.
