The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 0.7 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 0.7 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.1 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00016 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.18 SJR: 0.313 SNIP: 0.6 CiteScore™:: 1.6 H-Index: 16

ABSTRACT

Nano-Fe3O4 particles have been prepared by a chemical reduction method using ferric chloride hexahydrate as a starting compound and hydrazine hydrate as a reducing agent in the presence of polyethylene glycol matrix (PEG-200). The prepared nano-Fe3O4 was characterized by NANOPHOX particle size analyzer, powder X-ray diffractometer (XRD), atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). The particle size of nano-Fe3O4 was in the range of 38−69 nm. The powder XRD pattern reveals that the crystallite size of nano-Fe3O4 is around 15−17 nm and the purity is better than 99.5%. HR-TEM supports the particle size measurements and shows that the particles are almost spherical in shape. The effect of nano-Fe3O4 on ammonium perchlorate was also studied and results indicate that it reduces its thermal decomposition temperature. Also, the prepared nano-Fe3O4 was evaluated in composite propellant formulations at different ratios and findings reveal that acceleration in burning rate was approximately 15% greater in comparison to the nano-Fe2O3-based composition.
