The aim is to synthesize and study thiokol oligomer NEP-12 based on sodium tetrasulfide, epichlorohydrin and ammonium phosphate, which is intended for use as the main component of thiokol sealant. To achieve this goal, a thiokol oligomer based on sodium tetrasulfide, epichlorohydrin, and ammonium phosphate has been synthesized and investigated, and the optimal conditions for the synthesis of a thiokol oligomer have been determined. Research has been carried out on the influence of the molar ratios of the starting substances on the composition and physicochemical properties of the synthesized thiocol oligomer. 80 °C was taken as the optimum polycondensation temperature, the reaction time in this case is 1.5-2 hours, as a result, the yield of the target product reaches 94%. The thiokol oligomer with the best performance was obtained at a 1: 1: 1 molar ratio of sodium tetrasulfide, epichlorohydrin, and ammonium phosphate, respectively. Based on the results of IR spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry, a reaction for the formation of a thiokol oligomer is proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
