In order to increasing of hydroxy functionality of HTPB, an in-situ nitroxide mediated polymerization (NMP) of 1,3-butadiene was carried out in presence of TEPA as a polyfunctional nitroxide precursor. The effects of this new hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene on thermal and dynamic-mechanical properties of its corresponding polyurethane elastomer were studied by DSC and DMTA tests. A ...

Glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) is a unique elastomeric binder with high heat of formation and high density due to enhanced thermal and performance properties of composite solid propellants. However, GAP has high glass transition temperature and poor mechanical properties that are limited its application as a binder in a composite solid propellant. In this paper , the efforts carried out on modifi...
