Synthesis and application of novel organo-silicone neutral polymeric bonding agent for pressed PBX
Using acrylonitrile,methyl methacrylate,hydroxyethyl acrylate,y-methacryloxypropyltrimet hoxysilane as polymerization monomers,a series of novel organo-silicone neutral polymeric bonding agents(LBA-315)for pressed polymer bonded explosive(PBX)were prepared by free radical solution polymerization reaction.The structure of the products was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)spectrum,nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum(1H-NMR),elemental analysis,inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer(ICP-OES),gel permeation chromatography(GPC)and so on.The molecular dynamics simulation studies showed that the effect of LBA-315 bonding agent was superior to those of traditional neutral polymeric bonding agent(NPBA)and silane coupling agent y-aminopropyl triethoxysilane(KH550).The X ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)testing results showed that LBA-315 bonding agent had good coating effect on l,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene(TATB).The preliminary application studies showed that when the LBA-315 bonding agent was used in the polymer bonded explosive formulations,the ambient temperature tensile strength and the maximum elongation of the explosive grains were improved by 89.3%and 88.2%,respectively.
