Porous ammonium perchlorate (PAP) was prepared by a successfully developed fluidization process at 230°C. The geometric structure of manufactured PAP was characterized by means of a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The physical and mechanical properties of composite propellans containing PAP were also determined. Owing to the diffusion of binder into pores of PAP, the elongation of propellants decreased.
