Simple and Green Synthesis of a Novel Fluoro-Nitrato Energetic Plasticizer
Over the last few decades, research into development of novel energetic plasticizers has been gaining a lot of interest, for example, bis(2,2-dinitro propyl)acetal, dinitro-diaza-alkanes (DNDA-57), 1,2,4-butanetrioltrinitrate (BTTN), and N,N-butyl-N′(2-nitroxy-ethyl) nitramine as energetic plasticizers for poly(3-nitratomethyl-3-methyloxe- tane)

The role of plasticizers in energetic material composites are (a) to modify mechanical characteristics of composites by improving the elongation at break; (b) to improve on the low temperature properties of the composites . Plasticizers are classified into non- energetic and energetic.

- What are energetic polymer plasticizers?
- EnRI has successfully synthesized energetic polymer based plasticizers, namely low molecular weight GAP and azido terminated GAP (GAP-A). These plasticizers are structurally similar to the binder matrix and resist migration due to enhanced miscibility.
- Are energetic plasticizers a good choice for solid propellant formulations?
- In modern solid propellant formulations, conventional plasticizers are being gradually replaced by energetic plasticizers (EPs), which usually have various energetic groups (such as nitro, nitroamino, azido, etc.) in the molecules to enhance the energy performance. Thus, extensive efforts have been devoted to the design and synthesis of new EPs.
- Are low molecular weight Energetic polymers a good plasticizer?
- Recent research suggests that low molecular weight energetic polymers can be effective plasticizers, as they do not easily migrate to the surface of the formulation, thus maintaining their plasticization effect.
- Why should we use energetic plasticizer?
- The higher energy characteristics of the energetic plasticizer along with its ability to improve the mechanical strength of the composite enable tailoring higher performance with less loading of the energy content, thereby making future energetic composite polymer materials safer and greener. (1)
- What was the first energy plasticizer?
- The first energetic plasticizer developed for commercial application and still widely used is nitroglycerine (NG) or glyceroltrinitrate. NG was first discovered in 1846. It has a high oxygen balance of +3.5 that improves the energy content of the overall composite mixture.
- What are some examples of energetic plasticizers?
- Energetic plasticizers are a type of nitro compounds and nitrate esters. Some examples include trimethyloethane trinitrate (TMETN) and trimethylene glycol dinitrate (TEGDN) or bisdinitropropyl formal and acetal mixture (BDNPF/A).
