Abstract

The performance improvement and cost reduction of solid rocket propellants has been a major concern of the solid rocket community. The use of low melting temperature thermoplastic as a fuel binder is one of the solutions. This paper presents a molding method of LTPs (Low Melting Temperature Thermoplastic Propellant) and the result of tests with a new mixing device.
