Curing process for the manufacture of thermoplastic elastomer binders

摘要

Thermoplastic elastomers made by copolymerizing macromolecular monomers with alkoxyalkyl acrylates in the presence of energetic materials serve as solid propellants which have high burn rates and increased insensitivity over conventional propellants. The copolymers are prepared in situ by subjecting the mixture of monomers and energetic materials to electron beam radiation.
