Abstract
For the first time, complex geometry combustible structures of an ammonium perchlorate–polylactic acid composite have been successfully printed using fused deposition modeling (FDM). The structural and energetic capabilities of the printed structures are demonstrated. Combined with the ability to be produced by FDM printing, these combustible elements could afford many practical applications.
