EFFECT OF BALLISTIC MODIFIERS ON THE BURN RATE OF EXTRUDED COMPOSITE PROPELLANT FORMULATIONS BASED ON THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERIC BINDER
SINOPSIS
The effect of ballistic modifiers on the burn rate of extruded composite propellant (ECP) formulations primarily based on ammonium perchlorate (AP) as oxidizer, aluminum (Al) as metallic fuel, and thermoplastic polyurethane, viz., Irostic® as binder, has been investigated. The ballistic modifiers, viz., iron oxide (Fe2O3), copper chromite (CuCr2O4), and strontium carbonate (SrCO3), were studied in the concentration varying from 0.2 to 1.0 part above 100 parts of base composition. The results obtained reveal that the burn rate increases with increase in the concentration of Fe2O3 and CuCr2O4. Maximum burn rate enhancement is observed with 1 part of Fe2O3, which is of the order of 130%. The results are discussed in detail in the light of thermal decomposition data generated on polymer and propellant compositions using ballistic modifiers.
