JP-10 absorbs heat energy, so is
endothermic with a relatively high density of 940 kg/m3. It has a low freezing point of less than −110 °C (−166 °F) and the flash point is 130 °F (54 °C). The high energy density of 39.6 MJ/L makes it ideal for military aerospace applications - its primary use. The ignition and burn chemistry has been extensively studied.[7][8][9] The exo isomer also has a low freezing point.[10][11] Its other properties have also been studied extensively.[12][13][14][15][16]
Even though its uses are mainly for the military, the relatively high cost has meant research has been undertaken to find lower costs routes including the use of
cellulosic materials.[17]
Catalytic addition of nanoparticles such as those based on
cerium(IV) oxide.[20]
Catalysis for the endo to exo isomerisation.[21][22]
Use of additives in JP-10 for various enhancements.[23][24]
