Abstract Rocket fuels are subjected to intense in-flight inertial, pressure and thermal loads that has drastic effect on its performance. In order achieve optimal results, we require functionally-graded solid propellant (FGSPs), specifically designed for each flight condition. A novel series of FGSPs were developed using Paraffin Wax (as fuel) Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene binder); treated ...

As increasing attention is being paid to harmful residual dye pollution in the dyeing effluent from microfiber synthetic leather industry, there an urgent need explore innovative ways alleviate such pollution. Here, a low-polarity waterborne polyurethane (WPU) was synthesized using hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) and polypropylene glycol (N220) as soft segments react with –NCO on isoph...
