DEVELOPMENT OF RUBBERLIKE MATERIALS FOR APPLICATIONS INVOLVING CONTACT WITH LIQUID ROCKET PROPELLANTS. Period Covered: April 1, 1958 to February 15, 1959
Elastomeric materials with satisfactory resistance during an immersion period of scven days at 160 deg F were developed for propellants such as JP-X fuel mixture, diisopropenyl acetylene, and hydrazine. Compounds based on an experimental polymer proved to be compatible with n-propyl nitrate and unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine, but additional work was directed toward development of other materials, based on commercial polymers, which will be resistant to these liquids. Compounds were tested which were resistant to inhibited red fuming nitric acid at room temperature. No elastomers tested were found resistant at room temperature to fluorine gas or nitrogen tetroxide. Results are presented for screening tests of plastics and fabrics in several propellants and for tests of elastomers in propellants at 350 and 400 deg F. (auth)
