Developed an innovative 2-step extraction method/GC analysis for intractable nitrocellulose-_base_d propellant that reduced preparation time 300 times and improved precision 12 fold (0.25% RSD) compared to Army method. Method was superior (speed, qualitative, and quantitative content) to diffusion-dependent methods including Soxhlet, Soxtec, ultrasonic, and SFC/SFE. Method presented at JANNAF meeting (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University). ================================================================= Project Chemist Durkee Foods (SCM Corporation) Dwight P. Joyce Research Center Strongsville (Cleveland), Ohio 1976-1986 Responsibility for Gas Chromatography and Liquid Chromatography new methods development for lipid products.
