Biaxial compression mechanical properties of HTPB propellant under dynamic loading

AIP Advances, 2022
To study the biaxial compression mechanical properties of hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) solid propellants under dynamic loading, biaxial compression tests were carried out at room temperature (25 °C) with the strain rate ranging from 1 to 85 s−

Screening Surface Modifications to Benzene to Improve Solubility in Hydroxyl‐Terminated Polybutadiene (HTPB)—A DFT Demonstration

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the advantage of computationally pre‐screening surface‐modifying material candidates, using density functional theory (DFT), to inform experimental synthesis and formulation efforts. This demonstration focuses on improving the solubility of benzene‐based materials in hydroxyl‐terminated ...

Purification and Properties of Polyvinyl Nitrate and Its Compatibility With Solid Oxidizers

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, Volume 51, Issue 8, Page 1224-1234, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Polyvinyl nitrate (PVN) is a nitrate‐ester energetic binder that can be produced directly from polyvinyl alcohol—a cheap commodity feedstock—thereby offering potential cost and supply‐chain advantages over binders based on nitrocellulose and other specialty polymers.

A Shock‐Tube Study of the HCl + M →$\to $ H + Cl + M (M = Ar) Rate Constant Using HCl Laser Absorption Near 3.3 µm

International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, Volume 58, Issue 7, Page 371-382, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Hydrogen chlorine (HCl) is an important combustion intermediate during plastic (municipal waste) and composite propellant (aerospace) combustion, but the understanding of its high‐temperature chemistry is still evolving. In this study, the pyrolysis of 0.5% HCl in Ar was investigated behind reflected shock waves in a shock tube at temperatures

Controllable Energy Release of Boron@Tannic Acid@Ammonium Perchlorate Energetic Microunits Governed by Cu Single Atoms

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Controllable energy release in solid propellants has always been a challenging technology, and extensive efforts have been devoted to the synthesis and application of catalysts to achieve its controllable release. In this study, tannic acid (TA) and its complexes (TA‐Cu) were introduced into boron@ammonium perchlorate (B@AP) composites using ...

Hydroxyl‐Terminated Polybutadiene‐Based Molding Powders as an Alternative Route for Manufacturing Pressed Polymer‐Bonded Explosives

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, Volume 51, Issue 6, Page 955-965, June 2026.
This study presents an alternative method to manufacture polymer‐bonded explosives by partially curing an HTPB‐based molding powder prior to compaction. The study shows that the length of partial cure time before compaction directly influenced the geometric fidelity, homogeneity, compressive strength, density, and internal microstructure.

Research on mechanical properties of HTPB propellants

Journal 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
