The curing kinetic parameters of the slurry were calculated using the Kissinger method and the Ozawa method to obtain a dual-Arrhenius model under thermostatic conditions. The activation energy for the curing reaction of the slurry was found to be 150.72 kJ/mol and the optimal cross-linking curing temperature was found to be 142.27°C. The dual-Arrhenius model of the slurry under thermostatic conditions was ηt = 228.12 exp (18.50 / T) exp [0.02 exp (7.98 / T) t]. As predicted by this model, the viscosity of the HTPB/CL-20-based composite explosive slurry under thermo-static conditions was consistent with experimental results.
