Abstract
In this study, the curing characteristics of commonly used Hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene(HTPB)-based solid propellant according to the curing temperature and Equivalent ratio change were investigated. In addition, the effect of curing reaction according to their ratio and content in the Triphenyl bismuth(TPB), Maleic anhydride(MA) and Magnesium oxide(MgO) catalyst systems was confirmed. Finally, moisture was added for each propellant mixing process to check the effect of moisture on propellant curing.
