Synthesis and Properties of Star-Shaped Hydroxyl-Terminated Polybutadiene via RAFT Polymerization: A Model for a Binder Prepolymer [PDF]
ACS OmegaFundamental knowledge on how polymer architecture affects curing and material properties of solid rocket motors (SRMs) using hydroxyl-terminated poly-(butadiene) (HTPB) as a prepolymer has historically been based on studies employing impure samples. Herein, we present the synthesis of highly controlled HTPB via reversible addition-fragmentation chain ...
