Four hydroxy-terminated poly(dimethyl siloxane) (HTPDMS) prepolymers of varying viscosities and molecular weights were prepared and used with and without alumina trihydrate as a filler. The HTPDMS viscosity and filler percentage were optimized to ensure acceptable pot life and mechanical properties.

Abstract
Thermal decomposition studies on doubleβbase propellants have been carried out in air and vacuum using differential scanning calorimetric, thermogravimetric and mass spectrometric techniques. Low temperature (90 Β°Cβ170 Β°C) decomposition seems to involve diffusion controlled process, the mechanism in air and vacuum being different. High temperature (170 Β°β205 Β°C) decomposition involves bond breakage.
