Can natural or hydrogenated or hydrogenated rubber be used as a solid rocket motor binder, and what is the state of use/research in foreign academic journals and/or U.S. historical weapons systems?
DSIAC staff connected the inquirer with a subject matter expert who performed a literature search and provided a report and bibliography. The publications included information on the use of natural rubber as a propellant binder, aging of natural rubber for tires, and useful aging data on normalized strain ratio at the break vs. shifted log of reduced time.
