Notes:
We need to cut out our dogbone samples, instead of casting them using a mold. Casting using a mold allows a polymer-rich surface layer to form which will give bad data.
Many relevant tests we could perform, for now we are just going to focus on uniaxial tensile test.
Further tests could include:
Compressive Tests
Load cycling
Aging
Thermal cycling?
Different specimen configurations? (this would help improve tests, not necessarily judge the propellant itself)

Aren't our grains casted with a mold? In that case might the data be inaccurate relating back to the grain if we don't use a mold? Maybe we would need to do testing on how the surface layer impacts the data
