Preliminary results of DOA plasticizer effect on AP/HTPB
The plasticizer is used as an additive to increase the flexibility, softness, and workability of the propellant. This agent is responsible for the reduction in tensile strength and elastic modulus of the material.
Effects of Plasticizers on Solid Rocket Propellant Adhesion
The goal of this research is to characterize the mechanical properties of composite solid rocket propellants as they relate to two plasticizers: Dioctyl Adipate (DOA) and Isodecyl Pelargonate (IDP). Specifically, this project focused on the adhesive bond between a propellant and motor liner.
Dioctyl adipate
Dioctyl adipate ( DOA) is an organic compound with the formula (CH 2 CH 2 CO 2 C 8 H 17) 2. It is a colorless oily liquid. As well as related diesters derived from 2-ethylhexanol, decanol, isodecanol, etc., it is used as a plasticizer. [2] [3] DEHA is sometimes incorrectly called dioctyl adipate. Toxicity [ edit]
