Perovskite-type La0. 8Sr0. 2CoO3-δ was prepared by a stearic acid gel combustion method in order to investigate the effect of the perovskite oxides on the combustion property of the nitramine modified double-base propellant. The obtained powder is characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM),Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)techniques. The catalytic action of La0. 8Sr0. 2CoO3-δ on the thermal decomposition of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) is investigated by TG-DSC technique. The burning rates of nitramine modified double-base propellant at various pressures are studied to evaluate the ballistic property. The experimental results show that La0. 8Sr0. 2CoO3-δ can catalyze the thermal decomposition of RDX, and the heat of decomposition can be increased by 34.7J/g by adding 2.0% (棕) of La0. 8Sr0. 2CoO3-δinto RDX. Compared with basic propellant, the burning rate of propellant modified by La0. 8Sr0. 2CoO3-δ increases at all the pressures. However, the burning rate increases more slowly with the increase of pres-sure, and hence the pressure index of the propellant is reduced. La0. 8Sr0. 2CoO3-δ has the better catalyticaction in comparison with LaCoO3.
