DMTA Analysis of Propellants Based on Inert and Energetic Binder Systems

In this work, we compare the mechanical properties of a widely used inert binder based on HTPB and a new energetic binder based on GAP and DNAM as additive, by DMTA technique. Both formulations are tested on their own and filled with ammonium perchlorate, a current high performance filler. The DMTA...

Description
Summary:In this work, we compare the mechanical properties of a widely used inert binder based on HTPB and a new energetic binder based on GAP and DNAM as additive, by DMTA technique. Both formulations are tested on their own and filled with ammonium perchlorate, a current high performance filler. The DMTA results show a wide operational temperature range for the inert binder systems along with a high resistance to propellant cracking, when compared with the energetic binder systems.
