DOUBLE-BASE BINDER IMPROVEMENT

Abstract

An investigation is underway into the physio-chemical factors controlling the mechanical behavior of slurry cast and base grain composite double-base propellants, the primary objective being to improve the mechanical properties of slurry cast systems at least up to those of analogous lease grain systems. Studies during the second quarter involved establishment and testing of tritium autoradiographic procedures for investigating inhomogeneities in these systems; synthesis of tritiated ingredients; preparation of casting powder and base grain propellant by NOS and of special ball powders by Olin; observations of glass transitions in NC gels and plasticizers; construction of microscope- strain apparatus.
