Abstract: The evaluation of titanium (IV) oxide influence on burning stability of composite solid propellants is represented in this work. Ten different propellant compositions were used in tests. The variations of burning rate modificator vere tested, using iron (III) oxide or lithium-fluoride. The different solid contents, fraction mixtures and particle sizes of oxidizer have been prepared. Burning rate laws at two test temperatures have been determinated and considered using the values of temperature sensitivities.
