Abstract
In this paper, high cis-1,4 content hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (cis-HTPB) with different molecular weights was prepared through the oxidative cracking process using cis-butadiene rubber as raw material. Firstly, this article comprehensively compared the differences between cis-HTPB and conventional I-HTPB in terms of molecular weight distribution, functionality, viscosity, molecular polarity, and other physicochemical properties, which provided effective data support for its subsequent application. In addition, the reaction kinetics study showed that cis-HTPB with isocyanate curing agent has high reactivity, allowing it to be rapidly cured at low temperatures, and the cured elastomers had excellent mechanical properties, with tensile strength and elongation up to 1.89 MPa and 1100%, respectively. It was also found that cis-HTPB has extremely excellent low-temperature resistance, and the glass transition temperature (Tg) of its cured elastomer is as low as −101 °C. Based on the above studies, cis-HTPB is applied as a binder in composite solid propellants for the first time to investigate its practical performance, and the results indicated that cis-HTPB-based propellants have excellent process and mechanical properties.
