Abstract:
A combustible composition comprising:a. a solid organic fuel-rich matrix containing oxidizer sufficient to maintain combustion of the matrix but insufficient for complete combustion of the fuel component; b. solid fuel-rich particles dispersed therein, said fuel-rich particles consisting essentially of: (i) at least one oxidizable solid element characterized by a single stable valence and the ability to produce gaseous subfluoride; (ii) solid oxidizer compound having combined therein a fluorine oxidizer element, said oxidizer element being available for oxidation of said oxidizable element; (iii) said oxidizable element and said oxidizer compound being present in said fuel-rich particles in amounts sufficient to react to produce an appreciable amount of gaseous subfluoride; and c. said subfluoride being capable of being ejected as an underoxidized combustion product despite the presence of sufficient amounts of oxidizer in said matrix to sustain combustion of said composition.
