Explosive materials must be compatible with polymer materials while they are in contact. For rapid examination of compatibility the thermal methods are applied. This article describes the methodology and criteria of application of differential scanning calorimetric and thermogravimetric analyses in compatibility examination of explosive materials, powder and double base propellant, with three types of polymer binders.

 

Key words: powder, rocket propellant, polymer binder, compatibility, thermal methods.
