Abstract: Unsymmetrical organic disulfide sulfinate compounds, useful as an antiradiation agents, having the general formula: ##STR1## wherein A is one or of the following polar groups, OH, COOH, SO.sub.3 Na, --C(O)--, or derivatives such as esters and nonamino nitrogen derivatives such as amides or nitriles; k is an integer of one to eight; Y is a straight or substituted aliphatic chain haivng from two to eight carbon atoms which may have one or more S--S groups interposed therebetween; m signifies the number of carbon atoms in an aliphatic chain Y containing 2 to 8 carbon stoms which may have S--S interposed; aliphatic chain Y, substituted with one or more polar groups of the number k is attached to one of the two sulfur atoms shown. The second sulfur atom is attached through an aliphatic chain of 2 to 5 carbon atoms to the sulfinate function SO.sub.2 M wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 may be hydrogen, aryl, cycloalkyl or various polar groups such as OH, COOH, SO.sub.

Abstract: A mechanical method of case bonding a solid propellant to a rocket motor e wherein a coating of a liner material is first applied to the internal surface of a rocket motor case. While the liner material is uncured a mechanical structural material selected from wire grid, wire hooks, rubber spikes, steel wool, metal grid, polyamide material, or polypropylene material is embedded in the liner material but allowed to protrude above the liner material. The liner material is allowed to cure, and an uncured propellant composition is cast against the cured liner and allowed to flow around the protruding mechanical structural material. On curing, the propellant composition attaches itself to both the liner and the mechanical structural material. The combination of the liner material, the mechanical reinforcing material, and the propellant composition provides a mechanical reinforcement in the propellant which is held in place with improved tensile adhesion against the rocket motor case wall.
