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)
