Nitrate ester of cellulose glycidyl ether (NGEC) is one kind of modified nitrocelluloses. The NGEC-modified double-base propellants were prepared by using traditional solvent-free method. The properties of NGEC modified double base propellant including mechanical, combustion, ballistic and combustion wave structure were investigated. The results show that NGEC has good thermoplastic and NGEC modified double base propellant exhibits a better processing property. Compared with NC-based propellant, NGEC modified double base propellant possesses 1.5 times higher elongation at low temperature (-40°C), stable ballistic performance and similar combustion properties and combustion waves structure. So, as an energetic thermoplastic binder instead of NC, NGEC can be used in new modified double base propellant research.
