Abstract

The low-speed impact tests were carried out on the nitrate ester plastized polyether (NEPE) by using a large-scale drop weight apparatus. The observation from the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the matrix materials are destroyed, while the particle-filled materials are not changed apparently. However, the closed bomb tests showed that the apparent burning rates of the damaged NEPE propellants vary considerably.
