Properties of HTPB/AP/Butacene Propellants

‘ABSTRACT
In the present work, the effect of formulation on friability of HTPB/AP propellants including
Butacene and Cr,Os has been studied. ‘The mechanical properties and burning rate of the
propellants were measured using Inston tensile tester and strand burner, respectively. Friability
was calculated from shot-gun and closed bomb test data. The result showed that friability was
higher, as the content of Butacene or AP 6 ym in the propellant formulations was increased.
