The Chemistry of Antioxidant in Solid Rocket Propellants

Abstract

In this mini grant, the project director has focused his effort on the study of the propellant UPP. The composition of UPP is listed as follows: CTBN- Carboxy-terminated butadieneacylonitrile, PTECA- C(COOH)4 prime HX-868- Methylaziridine phthalate, TMETN- Trimethyloethane trinitrate, NMNA- N-nitroso-N-methyl-p-nitroaniline, HMX- Cyclotetramethylene tetranitramine, AP- Ammonium Perchlorate, Al-Aluminium. First attempt was to extract (NMNA) from UPP by various solvents: benzene, carbon tetrachloride, methylene chloride, chloroform and dichloro-ethyl ether. At various experimental stages, we tried the above-mentioned solvents at different concentrations:95-99%. As compared with the previous studies of N-methyl-p-aniline (MNA), NMNA did not produce a peak due to the N-H at the methyl carbon in MNA by Fourier transformation infrared spectra. (kt)
