为改善纳米Fe₂O₃在固体推进剂中的分散性, 以端羟基聚丁二烯(HTPB)和异氟尔酮二异氰酸酯(IPDI)为包覆和固化材料, 分别采用直接共混法和分步共混法制得纳米Fe₂O₃/HTPB复合粒子. 采用HRTEM, TGA, FTIR和XRD等手段表征了复合粒子的结构, 对比了复合前后纳米Fe₂O₃的分散性, 测量了HTPB包覆量和包覆层厚度. 结果表明, 这两种方法均能实现HTPB对纳米Fe₂O₃物理包覆, 但分步共混法明显优于直接共混法|在分步共混法制得的纳米Fe₂O₃/ HTPB复合粒子中, 内层的纳米Fe₂O₃分散性好, 外层HTPB厚度均一. 复合粒子亲油性结果表明, 将纳米Fe₂O₃与HTPB进行复合, 可有效改善纳米Fe₂O₃在固体推进剂中的分散性.

To improve the dispersion of Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles in solid propellant, the Fe₂O₃/hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) composite nanoparticles were prepared by one-step blending (OSB) method and two-step blending (TSB) method, respectively. The HRTEM, TGA, FTIR and XRD were used to characterize the structure of the resultant composite nanoparticles. It was observed that HTPB could be physically coated on the surface of the Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles with both the two methods. Whereas the composite nanoparticles prepared by TSB method had better structure, in which the Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles exhibited better dispersion and the depth of the HTPB was uniform. After the composite process for the hydrophilic Fe₂O₃, the composite nanoparticles showed hydrophobicity. As a result, it can be deduced that the Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles in Fe₂O₃/HTPB composite nanoparticles had better dispersion in solid propellant.
