Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE: Bonding of hydroxy terminated polyvutadiene based propellant grains to rocket motor liners and of the liner to the motor case is greatly improved by incorporating an aziridine in a urethane cured hydroxy terminated polybutadiene based liner.

Description

BACI~GI~OUND OF THI~ INVENTION
In general, ease bonded solicl propellQnt grains possess g1eaier strenE,-th beeause of the additional support given by tlleir adherenee to the rocket motor CaSillg i21 WhiCIl tlley are eontainecl. To insure the lMa~imum strength ancl to prevcnt separation of the propellant grain Lrom tlle motor walls wl-ieh woulcl create voids alld therefore a potential for uneven burning, it is clesir,ll~le that - the propellant graill be bonded to the motor casing uniformly and firmly.
This is usually aecomplished by very careful cleaning ~uld clescaling Or the inside surrace of the metal motor casing, îollowecl by eoating tlle insicle surl`ace with a liner, normally the binder used for tlie propellant graill, then casting tlle propellant grain in plaee and euring. Tlle liner serves as a bonclil-g ag,CIlt l)CtWCCII Ll~c C.'lSillg alld tlle propellallli: graill, as all inhibito3 prcvclltillg burllillg dowll tlle outer surfaee Or the grain and as an ins-llator, proteetillg tlle casing from the hcat alld gases of combusLion when burning has progresse(l to tlle point at ~vhicll thc c~sin~ ~voulcl other~visc be ~xpo~;etl.
Tlle prest nt inventioll relates to case lincrs contailling ~ziricline compounds metllods for their formulatioll and use. The liners are formulatecl from hydroxy terminated polybutadiene based polyurethalle binders.
U. S. Patent 3, ~7~L,131 issued August 10 197(;, is rt?late(l to thc usc of vnrious acrylated aziridinyl mol~omers ancl polyniers and their use as n(lllesivt?
promoters in vinyl rormulations. The compounds contemplated for use in lhis invention are intended for use in enhancing the adhesivelless of polyurethnnes.
