“…However, traditional liquid chromatograph and gas chromatograph technologies need plenty of organic solvents and specimens; also significant amounts of time are required for extraction and standardization. An environmentally friendly technology, desorption-gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy, was then developed by Pesce-Rodriguez et al [48] to overcome these shortcomings.…”

One of the most challenging requirements in a solid rocket motor (SRM) is the integrity of the charge structure which is a multilayer adhesive joint involving the propellant, liner, and insulation. The propellant/liner/insulation interface is considered to be the weakest part of the whole structure. This interface has some of the usual features of an adhesively bonded interface, as well as its own special characteristics: the co-cured process, ingredient migration between interfaces, and complicated damage mechanisms. We give a technical and critical review of the past fifty years of existing research on many aspects of the propellant/liner/insulation interface in terms of the adhesive properties and adhesive mechanisms, ingredients migration, damage determination, and fracture analysis.To present a comprehensive outline of this interface we also clarify some remaining problems which should be addressed in the future. With significant improvements in the theoretical and experimental studies of the propellant/liner/insulation interface, the problem of integrity failure of the charge structure in SRM will be well resolved.

Plasticizer migration across bonded propellant interfaces during cure has been shown to have a measurable effect on propellant properties compared to each propellant by itself. This shows that the curing period is significant to the migration phenomenon. The plasticizer migration has been shown to have a direct influence on tensile strength for short aging periods up to the point the plasticizer reaches equilibrium. The tensile data for short aging periods have been shown to follow an empirical equation connecting the physical characteristics of plasticizer migration with increasing propellant tensile strength. The diffusion coefficient has been evaluated on the basis of this relation from a plot of σ$ ^{\it m}_{\rm t}$ versus t1/2 and was in good agreement with the diffusion coefficient from the plasticizer content data.
