Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a combustion rate catalyst in the field of aerospace energy catalysis, specifically to an anti-migration ferrocene-based hyperbranched polymer combustion rate catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Ammonium perchlorate, as one of the most common oxidizers in composite solid propellants, directly determines the final combustion of the propellant due to its thermal decomposition performance. Lowering the thermal decomposition temperature and increasing its thermal decomposition rate are considered effective ways to improve its thermal decomposition performance. Practice has shown that using ultrafine ammonium perchlorate or catalysts can significantly improve its thermal decomposition performance. However, ultrafine ammonium perchlorate powder is accompanied by many potential hazards during preparation and storage. Therefore, the use of catalysts has become the most common method. Since the catalyst content in composite solid propellants is relatively low, maximizing catalytic efficiency is crucial for catalyst design.
[0003] Over the past few decades, ferrocene-based compounds have attracted widespread attention as combustion rate catalysts. However, commonly used ferrocene-based combustion rate catalysts generally exhibit migration phenomena, such as n-butylferrocene, tert-butylferrocene, and catoxine. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing ferrocene-based combustion rate catalysts, this invention provides a method for preparing a migration-resistant ferrocene-based hyperbranched polymer combustion rate catalyst. The ferrocene-based hyperbranched polymer combustion rate catalyst exhibits excellent migration resistance and combustion rate catalytic performance. It can remain free from migration and volatilization for extended periods at 50°C, while simultaneously lowering the thermal decomposition temperature of ammonium perchlorate.
[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] I. A Ferrocene-based Hyperbranched Polymer Combustion Rate Catalyst with Anti-migration
[0007] The ferrocene-based hyperbranched polymer combustion rate catalyst forms a hyperbranched structure through an amidation reaction using ferrocene-based compounds and amino compounds as monomers.
[0008] The ferrocene-based compounds include 1,1-ferrocene dicarboxylic acid or 1,1-ferrocene dicarboxylic chloride.
[0009] The amino compounds mentioned include tris(2-aminoethyl)amine.
[0010] II. A method for preparing a ferrocene-based hyperbranched polymer combustion rate catalyst with anti-migration properties
[0011] 1) The ferrocene-based compound and the catalyst were dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide solvent, and the carboxyl group in the ferrocene-based compound was activated by stirring at room temperature for 30 min to obtain the first product;
[0012] 2) The amino compound was dispersed in N,N-dimethylformamide solvent and then slowly added dropwise to the first product. The reaction was stirred at room temperature. After the reaction was completed, deionized water was added to precipitate the product. After filtration, washing and vacuum drying, the ferrocene-based hyperbranched polymer combustion rate catalyst was obtained.
[0013] In 1), the molar amount of catalyst is 0.5-4 times that of the ferrocene-based compound;
[0014] In step 2), the molar amount of the amino compound is 0.5-2 times that of the ferrocene-based compound.
[0015] III. A composite solid propellant
[0016] The composite solid propellant includes the aforementioned anti-migration ferrocene-based hyperbranched polymer burning rate catalyst.
[0017] IV. A method for preparing a composite solid propellant
[0018] 1) Ammonium perchlorate and ferrocene-based hyperbranched polymer combustion rate catalyst were dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide to obtain the second product;
[0019] 2) Under stirring conditions, the second product was slowly added dropwise to ethyl acetate. After the addition was complete, the third product was obtained by centrifugation, drying and sieving.
[0020] 3) After mixing hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene and isophorone diisocyanate evenly, the fourth product is obtained. The third product is added to the fourth product in batches and stirred evenly before being filled into a container. After curing for 7-10 days, a composite solid propellant is obtained.
[0021] In step 1), the mass fraction of ammonium perchlorate is 60-70 parts, and the mass fraction of ferrocene-based hyperbranched polymer combustion rate catalyst is 1-10 parts.
[0022] In step 3), the mass fraction of hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene is 10-30 parts, the mass fraction of isophorone diisocyanate is 1-10 parts, and the curing temperature is 50-80℃.
[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0024] The ferrocene-based hyperbranched polymer combustion rate catalyst of the present invention has a high ferrocene content, which can effectively improve catalytic performance. Simultaneously, the introduction of a large number of amide groups enables the formation of hydrogen bonds and other interactions with ammonium perchlorate and other additives, making the combustion rate catalyst of the present invention less prone to migration and volatilization under natural conditions.
