The present invention is directed to propellant grains having multiple layers consisting of an outer, slow burning, layer composition and an inner, fast burning, layer with desirable progressivity burn rates. The outer, slow burning, layer comprising a first energetic material, a first plasticizer and a first binder and an inner, fast burning, layer comprising a second energetic material, and the same plasticizer as the outer layer, and a second binder. The compositions in the propellant grain provided herein provides for a burn rate energy differential between the outer, slow burning, layer and inner, fast burning, layer of at least 2.

Disclosed herein are energetic compositions and methods of making thereof. A composition includes particles of a nitrogen-containing oxidizer dispersed in a polymeric binder and a bonding agent bonded to a surface of at least a portion the particles. The bonding agent disclosed is a Lewis acid.
