[0002] Missiles are crucial weapons in modern warfare, playing a vital role in the tactical operations and strategic deployments of major military powers. Solid propellants are the power source for rocket and missile engines, and their combustion performance is closely related to the combat effectiveness and survivability of missile weapons. Therefore, regulating the combustion performance of solid propellants has become one of the key technologies restricting weapon performance, and using combustion catalysts is one of the most effective and direct means of controlling the burning rate. Ferrocene and its derivatives are commonly used combustion catalysts in hydroxyl-butadiene composite solid propellants, which can effectively improve the combustion performance of solid propellants. However, ferrocene combustion catalysts are prone to migration and volatilization in solid propellants, adversely affecting the service life of solid propellant charges. Summary of the Invention
