Enhancing the propulsion characteristics of rockets by adding the energetic Nitro-hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (NHTPB) in the propellant compositions
Abstract:Replacing the inert binder by an energetic one could increase the specific impulse of the propellants and enhance the propulsion characteristics of rockets. In this study, Nitro-b
hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (NHTPB) was prepared by a simple method. The prepared NHTPB in addition to HTPB binder were characterized. FTIR spectra of both HTBP and NHTPB was determined and compared. The thermal behavior of the prepared NHTPB was studied using DSC technique at heating rate 5 degree/min. A composite propellant b… Show more
