In order to get a good compatibility with azidopolymers, plasticizers are required with a similar chemical structure. The energetic plasticizers EGBAA, DEGBAA, TMNTA and PETKAA were synthesized and characterized. They are liquid and the glass-transition temperatures are between À70.8 C and À34.1 C. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis shows an acceptable thermal stability for practical applications. The infrared spectrum shows distinctly the functional groups C-N 3 , ester, carbonyl and nitrate. The elemental analysis and NMR agree with the molecular structures. As a practical example, EGBAA was combined with the energetic binder Poly-Nimmo. The viscosity, glass-transition point and stability of 50% mixtures were investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
