Research on mechanical properties of HTPB propellants

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series
Abstract Slat propellants with different sizes and shapes are designed to investigate the strength criteria of HTPB propellants. According to the calculation and simulation results, with the increase of multiple, the designed size slat specimens can achieve equivalent biaxial tensile stress ratios of 1:2, 1:2.5, 1:3, 1:3.5, and 1:4 under

Synthesis of propellant grade HHTPB by hydrogenation of HTPB using Pd-activated charcoal as catalyst

open access: yesFirePhysChem
To derive more performance from the conventional composite propellant based on hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) and ammonium perchlorate (AP), it is envisaged to hydrogenate HTPB, which increases the H/C (hydrogen to carbon ratio) of the base ...
