Abstract
Abstract A rocket motor is described in which a thin layer of metallic foil or the ke is used between a silicone rubber insulator and an isocyanate cured, hydroxy terminated polybutadiene bound propellant grain to prevent migration of isocyanate into the silicone rubber liner.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
74 words
A rocket motor containing a layer of silicone rubber adjacent to the inner wall of the combustion chamber and bonded thereto, a layer of lowly exothermic metal adjacent to the inner wall of the silicone rubber layer and bonded thereto and a solid rocket propellant grain inside of and adjacent to the inner wall of the metal layer and bonded thereto, the solid propellant grain containing a binder of isocyanate cured hydroxy terminated polybutadiene.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
74 words
A rocket motor containing a layer of silicone rubber adjacent to the inner wall of the combustion chamber and bonded thereto, a layer of lowly exothermic metal adjacent to the inner wall of the silicone rubber layer and bonded thereto and a solid rocket propellant grain inside of and adjacent to the inner wall of the metal layer and bonded thereto, the solid propellant grain containing a binder of isocyanate cured hydroxy terminated polybutadiene.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
A rocket motor according to claim 1 wherein said lowly exothermic metal is copper.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
A rocket motor according to claim 2 wherein said copper is in the form of a foil.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
62 words
A method for preventing the migration of isocyanate curatives from a hydroxy terminated polybutadiene bound solid propellant grain into a silicone rubber liner, said method comprising the steps of: a. placing a layer of lowly exothermic metal between said propellant grain and said silicone rubber liner; and b. bonding said layer of metal to said propellant grain and said silicone rubber liner.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
62 words
A method for preventing the migration of isocyanate curatives from a hydroxy terminated polybutadiene bound solid propellant grain into a silicone rubber liner, said method comprising the steps of: a. placing a layer of lowly exothermic metal between said propellant grain and said silicone rubber liner; and b. bonding said layer of metal to said propellant grain and said silicone rubber liner.
