Termogravimetrisk og dynamisk mekanisk analyse av polymermatriser

In this work improved DMA and TGA methods were developed in order to measure glass transition temperatures and study thermochemical properties of various polymer matrices suited for binders in rocket propellants. Several polymer matrices based on either GAP, HTPE or an admixture of these prepolymers were prepared in this study. In some samples various amounts of plasticizer were added (TMETN or BDNPA/F). Besides DMA and TGA, other characterization methods were also applied.
