Abstract:
A composition having a controlled stoichiometry comprisinga fuel and a solid oxidizer, said composition comprising a matrix of a known quantity of said oxidizer determined in accordance with said controlled stoichiometry and a known quantity of said fuel determined in accordance with said controlled stoichiometry, wherein particles of said fuel are substantially uniformly an distributed throughout said oxidizer matrix; wherein particles of said fuel are substantially uniformly distributed throughout said oxidizer matrix, said matrix being prepared from a non-saturated solution of said oxidizer, said fuel, and a solvent which solution is well agitated to substantially uniformly distribute particles of said fuel throughout said solution, the solvent being removed from said solution such that said uniform distribution of said fuel particles throughout said oxidizer matrix is maintained and such that said known quantities of said oxidizer and said fuel are maintained in the matrix whereby the stoichiometry of said composition is controlled.
