Phenol, thiophenol, p-chloropheno1, p-nitrophenol,p-cresol, resorcinol, naphthols, caprolactam and butylated-hydroxytoluene were used as blockingagents. Viscosity measurements have been carried out using a mixture of HTPB and blocked TDIin cyclohexanone in the presence of the catalysts at 50℃ and 60℃ using Haake rotational vis-cometer. Viscosity measurements have also been carried out with 50% solids such as ammonium sulphate along with HTPB and TDI adduct.展开更多

The polymers were characterized by GPC, IR and 1H-NMR. The mechanical properties of cured films were also evaluated. The results show that the content of 1,4-units for HTPBs made by anionic polymerization reaches up to 90%. The molecular weight distribution is very narrow （〈 1.05）. The functionality of hydroxyl groups approaches 2. Compared with free radical HTPB, the elongation at break of anionic HTPB films increased by 70%, while the tensile strength remained nearly unchanged. This new HTPB can be very useful in solid propellant.展开更多
