Fundamental Studies on Aluminum Fuels.

ADA801540

Publication Date	1944
Personal Author	McBain, J. W.
Page Count	256
Abstract	A study of the structure and phase relationships of thickened fuels is given, in order to provide a more fundamental basis for understanding their properties. The problem was related to the napalm program. A study of aluminum soaps is discussed. The phases and phase transitions utilized in the hydrocarbon systems are identified. Investigations were conducted to determine how water is held by Napalm. Methods are given for the purpose of distinguishing between free acid, sorbed or bound fatty acid, and chemically bound acid. Different Napalms are compared in pure solvents. Gel and gel structure and the effective additives are discussed.
