Effect of Polycaprolactone on the Mechanical Properties of PEG/HMX Propellant
Polycaprolactone이 PEG/HMX 추진제의 기계적 성질에 미치는 영향
Abstract
Mechanical properties of polyethyleneglycol(PEG)/cyclo-tetramethylene tetranitramine(HMX) propellant were studied by adding polycaprolactone(PCP) and silane derivatives as coupling agent. Mechanical properties of the propellant were enhanced by increasing the content of PCP which was partially replaced with PEG. PCP/HMX propellant showed 17% increase in maximum tensile strength and 59% increase in elongation compared to those of PEG/HMX propellant. However, as the content of PCP was increased, the hydrolytic stability of this propellant was found to be deteriorated due to the ester group of PCP by measuring hardness drop of cured propellant and swell ratio difference of PEG/PCP binder stored at
Polycaprolactone (PCP)과 coupling agent로 silane 유도체를 polyethylene glycol(PEG)/cyclo-tetramethylene tetranitramine(HMX) 추진제에 첨가하였을 때 추진제의 기계적 특성 변화를 연구하였다. PEG의 일부를 Polycaprolactone(PCP)으로 대체 사용하면 추진제의 기계적 성질은 증가하였으며, PCP/HMX 추진제는 PEG/HMX보다 최대 인장 강도가 17%, 최대 응력하의 신율은 59% 증가하였다. 그러나 PCP함량이 증가할수록 수분에 대한 안정성은 저하됨을
