Stabilizers for GAP and GAP-based Propellants Interim Report

Abstract

Stabilizers for Glycidyl Azide Polymer (GAP) and GAP-based propellants were evaluated by Atlantic Research Corporation (ARC) and 3M (subcontract). The objectives of the program were: 1. to determine the stability of GAP; 2. to document the effect of propellant ingredients on GAP stability; and 3. to demonstrate stabilizers that hinder or block the major decomposition pathways of GAP and GAP Propellants in order to improve long term storage stability.
