Comparison between Microcosmic Characterizations of Propellants by SEM and AFM

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to obtain more detailed microcosmic information of propellants, NG propellant for example, characterization ways and conclusion analysis via SEM and AFM were introduced respectively. After comparison analysis of two experimental results, AMF gained more quantitative measurement results, such as friction force, topography, force-distance
