Fast-Burning Rate/High Slope Propellant Technology Program.
Abstract
This is the second quarterly progress report on work conducted to advance state-of-the-art with regard to formulation of practical fast-burning and high pressure-exponent propellants. Primary emphasis was directed toward optimization of the processing, mechanical, and ballistic properties. Approaches to improving propellant processability included variation of amount and type of plasticizer, use of blocked or hindered isocyanate curing agents, evaluation of epoxide curing agents and modification of R-45M prepolymer. The last approach was found to be by far the most effective, and satisfactory processability can be achieved with propellants meeting the desired ballistic and mechanical properties. (Author)
