Effect of Hydroxyl‐Terminated Polybutadiene Grade on Rheology and Settling of High‐Solids Mixtures of Mock Propellants

ABSTRACT The most common binder used in composite rocket propellants is based on the pre‐polymer hydroxyl‐terminated polybutadiene (HTPB). It has been shown to have excellent mechanical properties and a long life once crosslinked, and studies have examined the kinetics of crossli...
