Energetic binders are a research hot-spot, and much emphasis has been placed on their mechanical properties. In this study, propargyl-terminated ethylene oxide-tetrahydrofuran copolymer (PTPET) was synthesized. Then, PTPET and low-molecular-weight ester-terminated glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) were reacted by the click reaction without using catalysts to obtain a polyether polytriazole elastomer. Through tensile tests, where R = 0.5, the tensile strength reached 0.332 MPa, with an elongation at break of 897.1%. Swelling tests were used to measure the cross-linked network and showed that the cross-linked network regularity was reduced as R increased. The same conclusions were confirmed by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). In DMA curves, Tg was around −70 to −65 °C, and a small amount of crystallization appeared at between −50 and −30 °C, because locally ordered structures were also present in random copolymers, thereby forming localized crystals. Their thermal performance was tested by Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) and Thermal Gravimetric Analyzer (TG), and the main mass loss occurred at around 350 to 450 °C, which meant that they were stable. In conclusion, the polyether polytriazole elastomer can be used as a binder in a composite propellant.

This study reveals the enhancement of mechanical and thermal properties of maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (PP- g-MA) with the addition of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC). A nanocomposite was manufactured by blending various percentages of PP, MA, and NCC nanoparticles by means of a twin-screw extruder. The influence of varying the percentages of NCC on the mechanical and thermal behavior of the nanocomposite was studied by performing three-point bending, nanoindentation, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy tests. The novelty of this study stems on the NCC nanoparticles and their ability to enhance the mechanical and thermal properties of PP. Three-point bending and nanoindentation tests revealed improvement in the mechanical properties in terms of strength, modulus, and hardness of the PP- g-MA nanocomposites as the addition of NCC increased. SEM showed homogeneity between the mixtures which proved the presence of interfacial adhesion between the PP- g-MA incorporated with NCC nanoparticles that was confirmed by the FTIR results. DSC and TGA measurements showed that the thermal stability of the nanocomposites was not compromised due to the addition of the coupling agent and reinforced nanoparticles.
