In this paper the Cross-linked double base propellant (XLDB) based on polyurethanes comprised of polycaprolactone (PCP) as binder and ammonium perchlorate (AP) and RDX as solid oxidizer have been prepared and characterized. Propellant burning rate were determined by the strand burner method (Crawford bomb). In the AP-based composition, the energy is enhanced and the pressure exponent reduced ...

Bonding agents are important components in solid propellants which affect processing, mechanical, ballistics, safety and aging properties of propellant. In this research, we have synthesized and characterized three types of new polymeric bonding agents by post functionalization of glycidyl azide polymers (GAP) via click chemistry. The interaction of new bonding agents with the surfaces of RDX p...

In this paper, diffusion and migration of Dioctyl sebacate (DOS) and Dioctyl phetalate (DOP) plasticizers at the interface of propellant and insulation as well as different distances from the interface in composite solid propellant based on HTPB / AP using both experimental and modeling have been investigated. Solid composite propellant and Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) insulation containing D...

Hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) is the most commonly used binder in composite solid propellants. However, due to its non-energetic character, in practice it is just a dead weight; Therefore, replacing HTPB with an energetic polymer is essential. In this research, nitrated hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene resin (NHTPB) with 12.2% nitration rate, in combination with HTPB resin was used ...
