Studies on structure property correlation of cross‐linked glycidyl azide polymer

Abstract: Glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) has been evaluated for use as binder for solid propellants. The effects of various parameters like cross-linking conditions, concentration of crosslinker, and the ratio of isocyanate to hydroxyl functional groups (NCO/OH ratio) on the mechanical properties were studied in detail. It was observed that the type of curing agent and the NCO/OH ratio have a strong influence on the gum-stock properties. Similar impact was seen for cross-linker concentration also. The swelling characteris… Show more

“…The curing agent, HMDI, was then added at 55 °C and the ingredients were mixed for another 30 min. The binder system was then cast and cured at 60 ± 2 °C for seven days under vacuum [31]. The cured HTPB binder system was prepared with an NCO/OH ratio of 0.83.…”

“…Among these ingredients, the binder acts as a matrix to hold the solid fillers together and gives the desired shape and structural integrity to the propellant . Glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) is a unique binder of high density with a positive heat of formation of +117.2 kJ/mol, and it is greatly insensitive to impact and at the same time provides high burning rates. For its positive effect on the energetic performance and burning rate, the GAP binder has attracted the attention of researchers for the past two decades …”

“…15 Recent advances in the field of propellant for high energetic properties, GAP is one of the promising binders for propellant industry and many researchers have reported its synthesis, performances and different applications. [16][17][18][19][20] Although GAP has numerous advantageous like high positive heat of formation, higher density and good compatibility with advanced oxidizers like hydrazinium nitroformate (HNF) and ammonium dinitramide, GAP does not show excellent mechanical properties especially low temperature properties due to its poor polymer backbone flexibility. 20 The critical temperature of GAP is 6 o C where the polymeric binder starts to quickly lose its elastomeric properties.…”

Glass transition temperature of GAP are much greater than those of inert binder HTPB and this significantly limits its application in composite solid propellants.…”
