Ignition time delay of condensed mixtures containing various polyacrylic fuels and NH 4 ClO 4 were measured using hot‐plate technique at several temperatures. The adiabatic theory of explosion assuming condensed phase exothermic reactions was used to evaluate the activation energy of ignition. Activation energy of ignition has been found to be dependent on the decomposition characteristic of the fuel component.
