| Abstract | ||
| The employment of the dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA) represents a modern methodology for the monitoring of the thermo-mechanical characteristics and also the thermomechanical loads of polyurethane-based composite solid rocket propellants during combustion. A meticulous preparation of composite propellant samples based on different bonding agents was carried out to examine the influence of various bonding agents on mechanical properties. To simulate the effects of natural aging, an accelerated aging program was implemented and subjected to the propellant samples for 5-day exposure at 90°C, equivalent to 5 years of natural aging. The dynamic mechanical modern analysis technique was used to assess the viscoelastic behavior and degree of viscoelasticity of both fresh and aged propellant samples. It is concluded that M4 based on MT-X bonding agent is the most valuable formulation of CSRP with tan δ of 0.183591, also with mechanical results; implying that M4 formulation based on MT-X bonding agent has the highest degree of viscoelasticity. | ||
