Abstract 1. A LIQUID HYDROCARBON FUEL OF FLASH POINT AT LEAST 90* F. SUITABLE FOR USE IN GAS TURBINE ENGINED AIRCRAFT, AND HAVING A REFUCED TENDENCY TO PARTICULATE DISSEMINATION ON BEING SUBJECTED TO SHOCK, THE FUEL CONTAINING THEREIN POLYMER OF MOLECULAR WEIGHT GREATER THAN 10**6 (VISCOSITY AVERAGE) OR OF INTRINSIC VISCOSITY REATER THAN 2.5 DLS./GM. IN A CONCENTRATION SUCH THAT THERE IS MOLECULAR OVERLAP OF THE POLYMER MOLECULES IN THE LIQUID, THE DISSOLVED POLYMER CONTAINING POLAR GROUPS WHICH FORM INTER-MOLLECULAR ASSOCIATIVE BONDS ARISING FROM ELECTROSTATIC ATTRACTION BETWEEN POLAR AND/OR DIPOLAR CHARGES IN THE POLAR GROUPS, THE BONDS BEING HYDROGEN OR ELECTOVALENT BONDS, THE POLYMER BEING AN ADDITION COPLYMER OF AN ALKYL STYRENE, THE ALKYL GROUP IN WHICH CONTAINS FROM 3 TO 20 CARBON ATOMS.
