Description

Den foreliggende opfindelse angår et hærdeligt bindemiddel til anvendelse ved fremstilling af et støbeligt, sammensat drivmiddel. Opfindelsen angår endvidere drivmidlet omfattende et sådant bindemiddel samt en fremgangsmåde til fremstilling af drivmidlet.The present invention relates to a curable binder for use in the manufacture of a castable composite propellant. The invention further relates to the propellant comprising such a binder as well as to a process for preparing the propellant.

Støbelige drivmidler, der er baseret på polybutadien-holdige bindemidler i forbindelse med f.eks. ammonium-perchlorat-oxidations-midler er kendt. De mekaniske og ballistiske egenskaber af sådanne sammensatte, faste drivmidler afhænger meget af kvaliteten af den klæbende binding mellem bindemidlet og oxidationsmidlet, som diskuteret i beskrivelsen til USA patent nr. 3 745 074. Man kender systemer, der udviser rimelig god adhæsion mellem brændstof-Castable propellants based on polybutadiene-containing binders in connection with e.g. ammonium perchlorate oxidants are known. The mechanical and ballistic properties of such composite solid propellants greatly depend on the quality of the adhesive bond between the binder and the oxidizing agent, as discussed in U.S. Patent No. 3,745,074, which discloses systems which exhibit reasonably good adhesion between

bindemidlet og oxidationsmidlet, men sådanne systemer har andre ulemper.the binder and the oxidant, but such systems have other disadvantages.

Ved et sådant kendt system anvendes bindemidler med carboxyl-termi-neret polybutadien (CTPB), hærdet med aziridiner eller epoxider eller blandinger deraf. Sådanne drivmidler udviser stor forlængelse over et bredt temperaturinterval og en relativt stor evne til at bære faste partikler, udtrykt som belastning af tørstoffer. Adhæsionen mellem bindemiddel og oxidationsmiddel er ret god, da det foretrukne aziridinhærdemiddel, tris(2-methyl-aziridinyl-1)phosphin-oxid kendt som MAPO, polymeriserer omkring partiklerne af ammoniumperchlorat-oxidationsmidlet til frembringelse af et stærkt lag, der er bundet til hovedportionen af bindemidlet ved kemiske bindinger. Dette system har dog de ulemper, at der kræves et kompliceret hærdeystem, at drivmidlerne har ringe ældningsegenskaber, når de udsættes for høj temperatur, og at egenskaberne af det polymere bindemiddel varierer fra en portion til en anden.In such a known system, binders are used with carboxyl-terminated polybutadiene (CTPB), cured with aziridines or epoxides or mixtures thereof. Such propellants exhibit great elongation over a wide range of temperatures and a relatively high ability to support solid particles, expressed as a load of solids. The adhesion between binder and oxidant is quite good as the preferred aziridine curing agent, tris (2-methyl-aziridinyl-1) phosphine oxide known as MAPO, polymerizes around the particles of the ammonium perchlorate oxidant to produce a strong layer bound to the major portion. of the binder by chemical bonds. However, this system has the disadvantages that a complicated curing system is required, that the propellants have poor aging properties when exposed to high temperature, and that the properties of the polymeric binder vary from one portion to another.

Et andet system, der blev udviklet i et forsøg på at overvinde ulemperne ved de foregående systemer, omfatter sammensatte drivmidler på basis af HTPB, baseret på hydroxyterminerede poly-butadien-præpolymere. Disse systemer hærdes med diisocyanater. Disse drivmidler krævede anvendelse af et bindemiddel til opnåelse af god adhæsion af bindemidlet til partiklerne af oxidationsmiddel. Aziridin-polyestere er effektive bindemidler til disse drivmidler, hvorved en foretrukken aziridin-polyester er et reaktionsprodukt af MåPO med disyrer. Imidlertid må dette foretrukne bindemiddel syntetiseres in situ i relativt små mængder, fordi det har en kort lager-holdbarhed ved stuetemperatur og må opbevares ved lav temperatur for at forlænge anvendeligheden deraf, og der kræves en relativt høj koncentration, ca, 2 til 3 % aziridin-polyester i bindemidlet, til at opnå en effektiv adhæsion mellem oxidationsmidlet og bindemidlet, især når belastningen med tørstoffet er høj.Another system developed in an attempt to overcome the disadvantages of the preceding systems comprises compound propellants based on HTPB based on hydroxy terminated polybutadiene prepolymers. These systems are cured with diisocyanates. These propellants required the use of a binder to achieve good adhesion of the binder to the particles of oxidizing agent. Aziridine polyesters are effective binders for these propellants, wherein a preferred aziridine polyester is a reaction product of MåPO with diacids. However, this preferred binder must be synthesized in situ in relatively small quantities because it has a short shelf life at room temperature and must be stored at low temperature to extend its usefulness and a relatively high concentration, about 2 to 3% aziridine, is required. polyester in the binder, to achieve an effective adhesion between the oxidizing agent and the binder, especially when the dry matter load is high.

Den foreliggende opfindelse er baseret på den erkendelse, at en kombination af to bindemidler, aziridin-polyester og en amin-polyester, med drivmidler af HTPB-typen tilvejebringer en passende adhæsion til opretholdelse af drivmidlets spændingsegenskaber og muliggør en redukThe present invention is based on the recognition that a combination of two binders, aziridine polyester and an amine polyester, with HTPB type propellants provides an appropriate adhesion to maintain the tension properties of the propellant and allows for a reduction.

tion med en faktor på 3 til 4 i mængden af aziridin-polyester, som kræves i sammenligning med de kendte systemer. Drivmiddelsystemer ifølge opfindelsen har f.eks. forbedrede mekaniske egenskaber, herunder- forbedret forlængelse under maximal belastning og ved brud med sammenlignelig brudstyrke og initiale moduler under henvisning til ΗΊΤΒ drivmiddelsystemer, som kun gør brug af som bindemiddel tjenende aziridin-polyester.by a factor of 3 to 4 in the amount of aziridine polyester required in comparison with the known systems. Fuel systems according to the invention have e.g. improved mechanical properties, including- improved elongation under maximum load and at breakage with comparable breaking strength and initial modules with reference to ΗΊΤΒ propellant systems which use only aziridine-polyester binder.

Opfindelsen tilvejebringer således et hærdeligt bindemiddel til anvendelse ved dannelse af et støbeligt drivmiddel, der omfatter: 1. en hydroxy-termineret butadien-rpolymer, 2. et diisocyanat-hærdemiddel, og 3. et bindemiddelsystem af en aziridin-polyester, som er reaktionsproduktet af et aziridin-phosphin-oxid og i det mindste en polycarbox-ylsyre, og en amin-polyester, der er reaktionsproduktet af en alkanol-amin og en mættet alifatisk polycarboxylsyre. Yderligere kan der være inkorporeret en antioxidant, såsom phenyl-beta-naphthyl-amin, sammen med isodecyl-pelargonat, som blødgøringsmiddel.Thus, the invention provides a curable binder for use in forming a moldable propellant comprising: 1. a hydroxy-terminated butadiene polymer, 2. a diisocyanate curing agent, and 3. an aziridine polyester binder system which is the reaction product of an aziridine phosphine oxide and at least one polycarboxylic acid, and an amine polyester which is the reaction product of an alkanol amine and a saturated aliphatic polycarboxylic acid. Further, an antioxidant such as phenyl-beta-naphthylamine may be incorporated together with isodecyl pelargonate as a plasticizer.

Opfindelsen angår yderligere et støbeligt drivmiddel, der omfatter det før angivne bindemiddel, og hvori der homogent er dis-pergeret et findelt perchlorat-oxidationsmiddel i di- eller tri-modale fordelinger, og andre fakultative bestanddele, såsom et metaladditiv. Opfindelsen tilvejebringer tillige en fremgangsmåde til fremstilling af det sammensatte drivmiddel under opnåelse af god dispergering af bestanddelene og reproducerbarhed af mekaniske og ballistiske egenskaber.The invention further relates to a moldable propellant comprising the aforementioned binder and wherein a finely divided perchlorate oxidant is dispersed in di- or tri-modal distributions and other optional constituents such as a metal additive. The invention also provides a process for preparing the composite propellant while obtaining good dispersion of the constituents and reproducibility of mechanical and ballistic properties.

De HTPB-præpolymere, der er velegnet i bindemiddel- og drivmiddelsystemerne ifølge opfindelsen, er for eksempel af den type, der er genstand for canadisk patent 891.562 eller USA patent 3.792.003.For example, the HTPB prepolymers suitable in the binder and propellant systems of the invention are of the type subject to Canadian Patent 891,562 or U.S. Patent 3,792,003.

This binder is used in an amount of approx. 0.1 to 0.5% by weight of the total binder composition.

Til dannelse af det støbelige drivmiddel ifølge opfindelsen tilblander man til bindemidlet før hærdning i henhold til en foretrukken fremgangsmåde, der i detaljer vil blive beskrevet i det følgende, findelt ammoniumperchlorat som oxidationsmiddel i dimodale eller trimodale fordelinger af fine pulvere med gennemsnitlige partikelstørrelser på l-400^um. En foretrukken partikelstørrelsesfordeling af ammoniumperchloratet er 1,7/2,7/1,0 dele med partikelstørrelse 400yum, 200yum og 17/um. Til anvendelse ved høj temperatur kan ammoniumperchloratet erstattes med kaliumperchlorat. Fortrinsvis inkorporeres et antisammenbagningsmiddel, f.eks. tricalciumphosphat, i en mængde på ca. 1 vægt-% af det 17/um perchlorat. Et metallisk additiv kan inkorporeres i drivmiddelkompositionen, om ønsket i en koncentration på 0 til 20 vægt-% af det totale drivmiddel. Dette additiv kan være findelt aluminium-eller magnesiumpulver, fortrinsvis med en gennemsnitlig partikeldiameter på 5-50yum. Et andet fast materiale, der passende er inkorporeret i den totale komposition, er et brændehastighedsadditiv eller en katalysator, der f.eks. kan være jernoxid, kobberchromit eller en organometallisk forbindelse. Det foretrukne additiv eller katalysator til det foreliggende formål er ferrioxid i en mængde på 0,1-1 vægt-% af drivmiddelkompositionen.To form the moldable propellant of the invention, the binder is admixed prior to curing according to a preferred process, which will be described in detail below, finely divided ammonium perchlorate as oxidizing agent in dimodal or trimodal distributions of fine powders having average particle sizes of 1-400. ^ um. A preferred particle size distribution of the ammonium perchlorate is 1.7 / 2.7 / 1.0 parts of particle size 400 µm, 200 µm and 17 µm. For high temperature use, the ammonium perchlorate can be replaced with potassium perchlorate. Preferably, an anti-caking agent, e.g. tricalcium phosphate, in an amount of approx. 1% by weight of the 17 µm perchlorate. A metallic additive can be incorporated into the propellant composition, if desired, at a concentration of 0 to 20% by weight of the total propellant.

I sammensatte drivmiddelkompositioner er det naturligvis ønskværdigt at opnå en så høj belastning af tørstoffer som muligt, og med drivmiddelkompositionerne ifølge opfindelsen kan det totale indhold· af tørstoffer variere mellem 85 og 90 vægt-% af den totale komposition, hvoraf naturligvis ammoniumperchloratet vil udgøre størstedelen og kan være mellem 68 og 88 vægt-% af den totale drivmiddelkomposition. De andre faste bestanddele indpasses deri i overensstemmelse dermed. Det polymere bindemiddel vil således udgøre ca. 10 til 15 vægt-% af den totale drivmiddelkomposition.Of course, in compound propellant compositions it is desirable to obtain as high a load of solids as possible, and with the propellant compositions of the invention, the total content of solids may vary between 85 and 90% by weight of the total composition, of which of course the ammonium perchlorate will constitute the majority and may be between 68 and 88% by weight of the total propellant composition. The other solid components are adapted therein accordingly. Thus, the polymeric binder will constitute approx. 10 to 15% by weight of the total propellant composition.

For at opnå en god dispersion af alle bestanddelene under fremstillingen af drivmiddelkompositionen og desuden reproducerbarhed af egenskaberne fra en portion til.en anden, er den foretrukne metode, at man først til en blander tilfører de flydende bestanddele, som er den præpolymere, blødgøringsmidlet og de to bindemidler. Pulveret af aluminium eller andet metal, når et sådant anvendes, og brændehastighedsadditivet for ferrioxid bliver derpå tilsat, og indholdet bliver blandet i 15 minutter under atmosfæretryk. Derpå tilsættes ca. 3/4 af den totale mængde af am-moniumperchlorat til blandingen, og blandeprocessen fortsættes i yderligere 10 minutter. Man gør brug af et vacuum, og blanderens indhold opvarmes til 60°C i ca. 60 minutter. Vacuummet frigøres derpå, og den resterende mængde ammonium-perchlorat tilsættes, og blandingen fortsættes i yderligere 5 minutter under atmosfæretryk. Diisocyanat-hærdemidlet tilsættes derpå til de andre bestanddele i blandingen, og blandeprocessen fortsættes i 5 minutter under atmosfæretryk. Herefter gør man igen brug af dette vacuum, og blandeprocessen fortsættes i 45 minutter ved en temperatur på 60°C. Drivmidlet bliver derpå støbt i forme under vacuum.In order to obtain a good dispersion of all the constituents during the preparation of the propellant composition and, in addition, reproducibility of the properties from one portion to another, the preferred method is to first add to the mixer the liquid constituents which are the prepolymer, the plasticizer and the two binders. The powder of aluminum or other metal when used and the burning rate additive of ferric oxide are then added and the contents are mixed for 15 minutes under atmospheric pressure. Then approx. 3/4 of the total amount of ammonium perchlorate to the mixture and the mixing process is continued for a further 10 minutes. A vacuum is used and the contents of the mixer are heated to 60 ° C for approx. 60 minutes. The vacuum is then released and the remaining amount of ammonium perchlorate is added and the mixture is continued for an additional 5 minutes under atmospheric pressure. The diisocyanate curing agent is then added to the other ingredients in the mixture and the mixing process is continued for 5 minutes under atmospheric pressure. This vacuum is then re-used and the mixing process is continued for 45 minutes at a temperature of 60 ° C. The propellant is then molded into molds under vacuum.
