NEW ENERGETIC BINDERS FOR SOLID PROPELLANT APPLICATIONS

Abstract

A new family of energetic solid propellants based on an energetic binder plus NH4ClO4 and Al is being developed. The binder consists of carboxy- terminated nitropolyesters synthesized from nitroacids and glycerol plasticized by bis(2fluoro-2,2-dinitroethyl) formal. These propellants are characterized by excellent thermal stability and insensitivity to impact and shock. Initial extrapolated values of tensile strength and elongation are 4.92 Kg/sq cm (70 psi) and 25-30%, respectively. The burning rate at 70.31 Kg/sq cm (1000 psi) is 0.914 cm/sec (0.36 in/sec) and the theoretical Isp is 268 seconds.
