1. INTRODUCTION
The thermal stability of jet fuels plays a crucial role in the
design and development of high-Mach aircraft.1,2 Cycloalkanes
have been found to be more stable than long-chain paraffins with
the same carbon number, while the stability for alkylcycloalkanes
decreases with the increase of the length of side chains.3,4 The
addition of an appropriate cycloalkane can improve the density
and the thermal stability of hydrocarbon fuels.
