A solution comprising nitrocellulose and a nitramine consisting of either X (Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-s-triazine), HMX (Octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-s-tetrazine), or mixtures thereof is dissolved in a volatile, liquid acetate ester, evaporated at room temperature to form a film, and then dried. The resulting material is a homogeneous, hydrogen-bonded complex of nitrocellulose and the nitramine, useful as an energetic propellant. -GOVT PAR The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by and for the Government of the United States of America for governmental purposes without the payment to us of any royalties thereon.
