Abstract

Abstract Pyrolysis - gas chromatography - Fourier transform infrared (P-GC-FTIR) spectroscopy has been used to examine the pyrolysis product distributions of a LOVA propellant formulation series. The propellants in the series were composed of oxidizer (HMX or RDX), polymeric binder (GAP, HTPB, BAMO/AMMO, or BAMO/THF), and plasticizer (BTTN or TMETN). Trends in product distribution as a function of formulation, as well as a correlation between pyrolysis products and performance data, were identified. In general, pyrolysis product distributions were found to be most strongly affected by the presence and type of plasticizer.
