Poudres propulsives à Erosion atténuée

The project PEA aims to develop a novel propellant for small arms ammunition with advanced properties, namely with reduced gas temperature. This reduction of the gas temperature limits the mechanical erosion of the barrels and aims to allow to double the

The Department of Chemistry has many years of experience in gun propellant engineering. The Department will be mainly involved in the thermodynamical prediction of the propellant performances, the experimental study of the stability and chemical compatibility.
