Abstract

Solid heterogeneous rocket propellants (SHRP), which are very popular and widely used in the armaments industry (guided missile propulsion engines and long-range, short-range and medium-range anti-aircraft rockets) have inert binders that significantly affect the final performance parameters of propulsion charges. In this study, the popular HTPB binder was modified by introducing azide groups into the polymer chain during three different syntheses. Compounds with different content of explosive groups were obtained and tested for compatibility with the essential SHRP components: ammonium chlorate(VII) and dioctyl adipate. Then, preliminary application tests of the obtained HTPB derivative were carried out, showing the potential of the obtained energetic polymer and the possibility of its use as a binder in solid heterogeneous rocket fuels. HTPB, energetic binder, azide groups
