Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of solid propellants, and in particular to a polyetheramine type hydantoin bonding agent, a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] As the power source of missile weapons, solid propellant plays an important role in the development of missile weapons, and its performance level determines the performance level of solid engines. The diversification of the application environment and functions of tactical missile weapons has put forward the requirements of high energy, overload resistance and wide temperature range adaptability for solid rocket engines, which requires the propellant to have good mechanical properties in high temperature environments.

[0003] Hydantoin-type bonding agents are a class of compounds containing a five-membered nitrogen heterocyclic structure of hydantoin in their molecular structure. By selecting the group connected to the N atom in the nitrogen heterocyclic ring, the bonding agent can have different physical and chemical properties, thereby making this type of bonding agent have strong structural designability. However, despite the significant structural advantages of hydantoin-type bonding agents, they still face some challenges in practical applications. In particular, when this type of bonding agent is physically adsorbed onto the surface of solid particles such as AP (oxidants such as ammonium perchlorate) and nitramine explosives, although it can provide effective bonding at room temperature and enhance the mechanical strength and combustion performance of the propellant, this physical adsorption effect is often weakened or even ineffective in high temperature environments. This leads to a significant decrease in the mechanical properties of the propellant at high temperatures, which cannot meet the strict requirements of high-performance engines for stable combustion and efficient energy output of the propellant.

[0004] Therefore, the development of new hydantoin-based bonding agents that not only maintain the advantage of their structural designability but also overcome the defect of weakened bonding at high temperatures has become a key issue that needs to be urgently addressed in the current field of propellant technology.
