Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) propellants are high-performance solid propellants widely used in aerospace and military applications. By combining experimental and theoretical approaches, the curing process was analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to obtain reaction data...
