Microstructural Characteristics and Failure Mechanism for A. Carboxyl Terminated Polybutadiene Composite System,

Abstract

The report discusses an investigation directed toward elucidation of solid propellant microscopic response and failure mechanisms through characterization of the constitutive effects of cross-link density, molecular weight distribution and curing agent ratio in the binder formulation, and filler fraction. This was accomplished on the carboxyl terminated polybutadiene propellant system through investigation of three binder formulations with the same curing agent ratio but with different cross-link densities, five binder formulations with different curing agent ratios, and four formulations with up to 69.9 percent by volume of filler.
