Influence of Polyglycidyl-type Bonding Agents on the Viscoelastic Properties of a Carboxyl-terminated Poly(butadiene-co-acrylonitrilе)-based Composite Rocket Propellant
Influence of Polyglycidyl-type Bonding Agents on the Viscoelastic Properties of a Carboxyl-terminated Poly(butadiene-co-acrylonitrilе)-based Composite Rocket Propellant
In the present study, functionally substituted bonding agents (triglycidyl isocyanurate and diglycidyl dimethylhydantoin) were incorporated into a composite propellant formulation based on carboxyl-terminated poly(butadiene-co-acrylonitrilе) and ammonium perchlorate. Bonding agents are an important component of a composite propellant, making up to 0.5 wt.% of the formulation. They affect processing, mechanical properties, ballistics, ageing and the characteristics of insensitive munition (IM) propellants. All of the testing has been done using an unmetallized propellant formulation (80 wt.% bimodal ammonium perchlorate and 20 wt.% binder). The focus has been on the mechanical properties of the propellant, as influenced by the presence of these bonding agents. Mechanical uniaxial tensile tests were accompanied by a dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) over a wide range of temperatures. The storage modulus, loss modulus, loss factor and glass transition temperature for each propellant sample have been evaluated. The network characteristics, such as sol-gel content and crosslink density have been calculated and successfully correlated with the mechanical properties. The dynamic mechanical studies showed that the content of the bonding agent did not influence the glass transition temperature; however, the loss factor was shown to be a function of the crosslink density.
