Fast-Burning Rate/High Slope Propellant Technology Program.

Abstract

This report is 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. This effort was directed at final tailoring of propellant formulations using functionally modified R-45M polymer. Incorporation of HAA into the formulation containing catocene resulted in an increased pot life. Formulations were scaled up to 10-pound-batch size, and 2-inch-diameter motors were cast. Two grains of each formulation were static fired. Physical properties, safety data, and limited aging data were obtained on the formulations.
