The preparation of thiokol: A lecture demonstration

Chemistry in the comics: Part 1. A survey of the comic book literature.

“…(3) Thiokol and potassium nitrate, a solid fuel that was used on the sergeant rocket. (The preparation and structure of thiokol, seldom found in textbooks on organic chemistry, has been previously described in this Journal (19).) (4) Nitric acid and hydrazine.…”

A guide to modern methods for poly(thio)ether synthesis using Earth-abundant metals

“…20 Traditionally, they were used in the vulcanization of rubber as well as in seals and sealants as commercial polymers like Thiokol, 21,22 although these illdefined polymers are not strictly polythioethers. 23 More recently, they have found several academic applications and have been gaining traction in the biomedical space. 24,25 Owing to the backbone thioether groups propensity to oxidize, polythioethers are utilized to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS).…”

Studies of thermally assisted interactions of polysulphide polymer with ionic liquids

“…To the round bottom flask containing sodium polysulphide solution, 1,2dibromoethane was added with constant stirring [33]. The reaction mixture was stirred until white lumps of the polymeric product were separated out.…”
