Designing Explosive Poly(Ionic Liquid)s as Novel Energetic Polymers

Abstract

The development of ionic-liquid-derived functional materials would be vital for stimulation of the interdisciplinary research in the fields of ionic liquid chemistry and material science. Here, a series of novel poly(ionic liquid)s with explosive capability were designed and prepared by introducing the energetic nitrato group and nitro-rich anions, such as nitrate, dinitramide, and nitroform into the polymeric chains. The as-synthesized explosive poly(ionic liquid)s (E-PILs) were fully characterized, and their physicochemical and detonation properties were investigated. All E-PILs show higher detonation performances than state-of-the-art energetic polymers including glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) and poly(glycidyl nitrate) [poly(GLYN)]. Some E-PILs exhibit higher calculated detonation velocities and pressures than 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). These E-PILs are promising candidates for applications as new high-performance energetic polymers.

Triazolium-Based Ionic Liquids: A Novel Class of Cellulose Solvents

“…Despite their long history of more than one century, ionic liquids (ILs) have gained increasing attention in the last two decades. They have been utilized in many different applications, such as batteries, , fuel cells, supercapacitors, extraction, electrodeposition, liquid crystals, , solvents, , including large-scale industrial processes, for carbon dioxide capture, − in catalysis, ,− as explosives and rocket fuel, and even for building telescope mirrors . One milestone in the readvent of ILs probably happened in 2002, when it was discovered that certain imidazolium-based ILs are able to dissolve cellulose .…”

Taming nitroformate through encapsulation with nitrogen-rich hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks

“…This is the first example of an NF-based system for which the decomposition temperature is >180°C (Fig. 4b and Supplementary Table 2) [5][6][7][12][13][14][15][16][17]35,41,42 . The peak at 222°C corresponds to the decomposition of NF, and the peak at 240.6°C is attributed to the decomposition of TATOT 29 .…”

“…For more than 100 years, numerous attempts [5][6][7][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] to improve the stability of NF, for example by encapsulation in 3D MOFs or polymers with the aim to reduce the sensitivity to mechanical stimulation, were not successful. Almost all NF-based compounds decompose in the temperature range of 80-150°C, thus not meeting the requirements of modern energetic materials for applications in thermostability (>180°C) 18 .…”
