Abstract: |
The work aims to elucidate the high-temperature accelerated aging research and mechanistic analysis of Hydroxyl-Terminated Polybutadiene (HTPB) propellant materials, and establish a linkage between microstructural alterations and macroscopic property variations. It systematically examined the microstructural transformations and macroscopic property variations in typical HTPB propellant materials subject to high-temperature aging. The emphasis was placed on investigating the molecular mechanisms and failure modes during accelerated aging, and deducing performance variations through the establishment of a correlation between microstructure and macroscopic properties. The findings suggested that the primary cause of macroscopic property variation over time was mainly attributed to microstructural damages, such as oxidation and cross-linking of the matrix as well as the interface damage, with oxidation cross-linking reactions observed not merely on the specimen's surface but also internally. Further investigation revealed a significant correlation between mechanical properties—tensile strength, elongation at break—and glass transition temperature (tg), the α-relaxation peak, and gel content. Oxidative damage in both the internal and surface regions of HTPB propellant materials, accompanied by filler-matrix interface damage during the high-temperature accelerated aging process, fundamentally results in the decline of mechanical properties. |
