Abstract: The rheological property of liquid hydroxy-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) was studied as a function of shear rate,temperature and its molecular weight. Measurements were made in the temperature from 15 to 70℃ and shear rate range from 0 to 2279s-1. The flow behavior of HTPB is found to be essentially Newtonian. When bulk vis-cosity is below 1 Pa. sec. and shear rate below 650 s-1., but it is also a non-Newto-nian under other conditions.The results concerning the relationship between bulk visco-sity and temperature are following the empirical equation:logηa=A+B/T, when the molecular weight of HTPB is 1,000—5,600.The relation between bulk viscosity and number average molecular weight was established as ηa=2.09×10-8Mn2•52 and ηa=1.14×10-8Mn2•55 at 20 and 25℃, respectively.
