Migration and leakage of some mobile components in rocket propellant produces an inhomogeneous composition region at which migration takes place, which can lead to premature detonation, changes in ballistic characteristics, and so on. It is, therefore, important to be able to predict the behavior of low-molecular-weight mobile additives and to control the leakage of them from the propellant. At this point, our chief interest was to study the magnitude of the migration and to understand the factors that influence the migration process. In this study, the migration of a ferrocene-based burning-rate catalyst [acetyl ferrocene (AcF)] a from hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) based elastomer in the presence of a plasticizer (dioctyl adipate) was examined in accelerated aging conditions at 60 degrees C for various time intervals. We also tried to minimize the migration of AcF from the loaded to the unloaded part by using an extra barrier layer consisting of polyfunctional aziridine (AST D45+) in addition to the HTPB-toluene diisocyanate composition. The migration enhanced with aging of the AcF and the barrier effects of the layer with intensified crosslink density to this migration were studied extensively. The migration was monitored by both ultraviolet-visible and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) methods. A comparison of the data obtained from both of these methods was also done. The two techniques were found to be in agreement, and the Fe determinations from both methods were highly correlated, suggesting that the data were reliable, although the AAS data were found to be symmetrically somewhat higher.

Characterization studies on aging properties of acetyl ferrocene containing HTPB-based elastomers Dilsiz, N; Unver, A (Wiley, 2006-08-15) In composite solid propellants, low-molecular-weight species such as burning rate catalysts, plasticizer, etc. which migrate into liner and thermal insulation layers during curing and storage invariably result in poor mechanical and ballistic properties of the propellants. In the present study, the migration of the burning rate catalyst, acetyl ferrocene, was investigated spectrophotometrically (UV-visible) by evaluating the extent of hindrance to such migration after applying a barrier (liner) of various c...
Improved adhesive properties and bonding performance of HTPB-based polyurethane elastomer by using aziridine type bond promoter Gercel, BO; Üner, Deniz; Pekel, F; Özkar, Saim (Wiley, 2001-05-02) The effect of two aziridine-type bond promoters on adhesive and mechanical properties of a hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene-based elastomeric liner used in solid propellant rockets was investigated by varying the concentration to determine the optimum value. The performance of butyleneiminetrimesoylaziridine (BITA) was compared with that of tris[1-2-methylaziridinyl]phosphine oxide (MAPO) in the elastomeric liner of otherwise the same composition. The adhesive performance of the elastomer to the composite ...
A numerical study of solidification and viscous dissipation effects on polymer melt flow in plane channels Tutar, Mustafa; Karakuş, Ali (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2013-04-01) The combined effects of solidification and viscous dissipation on the hydrodynamic and thermal behavior of polymer melt flow during the injection process in a straight plane channel of constant cross section are numerically studied by considering the shear-rate and temperature-dependent viscosity and transient-phase change behavior. A numerical finite volume method, in conjunction with a modified form of the Cross constitutive equation to account for shear rate, temperature-dependent viscosity changes and a...
Analysis of the Specific Heat in the Supercooled Solid Phase of Liquid Crystals Kilit, Emel; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01) The specific heat Cp is analyzed using the experimental data at various temperatures in the solid phase of cholesteryl myristate according to a power-law formula for the rapidly and slowly cooled solid in the stability limit. We also analyze the temperature dependence of the Cp using the experimental data for the supercooled solid phase of p-azoxyanisole in the stability limit and the stability temperatures are determined for both cholesteryl myristate and p-azoxyanisole.
Effect of Gas Permeation Temperature and Annealing Procedure on the Performance of Binary and Ternary Mixed Matrix Membranes of Polyethersulfone, SAPO-34, and 2-Hydroxy 5-Methyl Aniline Oral, Edibe Eda; Yılmaz, Levent; Kalıpçılar, Halil (Wiley, 2014-09-05) This study investigated the effect of annealing time and temperature on gas separation performance of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) prepared from polyethersulfone (PES), SAPO-34, and 2-hydroxy 5-methyl aniline (HMA). A postannealing period at 120 degrees C for a week extensively increased the reproducibility and stability of MMMs, but for pure PES membranes no postannealing was necessary for stable and reproducible performance. The effect of operation temperature was also investigated. The permeabilities of...
