The Effect of Explosives and Propellants on Some Thermoplastics and Rubbers. Part 3

Abstract

Three rubber vulcanizates, chlorobutyl, natural, and butadiene, two thermoelastomers, plasticized PVC, and six thermoplastics, polystyrene, and PMMA have been exposed to the explosive TNT and propellant NQ for intervals of up to twelve months. All the rubbers are affected by both TNT and propellant NQ, whereas of the plastics only PMMA is seriously affected.
