An energetic binder epoxy poly glycidyl nitrate (e-PGN) with a molecular weight of about 1244 gr/mol was synthesised via end modified poly glycidyl nitrate (PGN) is presented in the paper. This structure was characterised by the number of epoxy groups, infrared spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance. The thermal degradation behavior of e-PGN was studied by thermo gravimetric analysis (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) under nitrogen atmosphere at different heating rates. The glass transition temperature (Tg) was measured to determine the compatibility of energetic plasticizer with the binder in the mixture of plasticizer/binder and compared with the results of e-PGN, and initial decomposition temperature in e-PGN was studied using the DSC method. The DSC results showed that the glass transition temperature of a mixture of 20 % Bu-NENA/e-PGN mixture (Tg = −56 °C) was lower than e-PGN (Tg = −37.78 °C) that shows the most compatible plasticizer is Bu-NENA. The activation energy of degradation e-PGN and e-PGN-20% Bu-NENA were calculated with DSC by the model-free methods and compared with the results of AKTS software in version 3.51(2013-07-10). The activation energy of exothermic decomposition of the e-PGN and e-PGN-20% Bu-NENA were calculated by the Kissinger, Flynn–Wall–Ozawa, Starink, and AAdvanced kinetics and technology solutions (Friedman) methods. Finally, the half-life prediction of the e-PGN and e-PGN-20% Bu-NENA were investigated.

“…The study showed that the hygroscopicity of the composite was significantly reduced, and the average relative moisture absorption rate of the composite was 46%, which is 3% lower than that of the composite prepared by the liquid deposition method, and the mass fraction of the coating layer is reduced by 76%, indicating that the spray drying has a better modification effect. Shi et al [23][24][25][26][27] prepared HMX-based, RDX-based, and CL-20-based nanocomposite energetic microspheres using fluororubber F2602, polyurethane Estane5703 and collodion NC as binders through spray drying technology. The results showed that the impact sensitivity of these composites is effectively reduced.…”
A series of ultrafine CL-20 and HMX energetic composites with different insensitive agents (DOS, PVAc and PVB) were prepared by electrostatic spray method. The results show that desensitizers have significant...
“…The energy content of these compounds is derived mostly from their high positive heats of formation, that is, the energy is correlated to the number of nitrogen atoms in the compound. This is unlike traditional HEDMs such as 2,4,6‐trinitrotoluene (TNT), 1,3,5‐trinitro‐1,3,5‐triazinane (RDX), and 1,3,5,7‐tetranitro‐1,3,5,7‐tetrazocane (HMX) where the energies are derived from the oxidation of the carbon backbone . Triazole‐ and tetrazole‐based energetic materials possess unique characteristics in that they combine a nitrogen‐rich moiety with a substituent that can be tuned toward desirable properties of high densities, good thermal stabilities, and low sensitivities …”
The molecular structures of 1,1′‐Azobis(tetrazole) (N10) and monosubstituted compounds involving F, CH3, CN, NH2, OH, OCH3, N3, NF2, NO2, and CH2NO2 groups are investigated using density functional theory. The heats of formation of these compounds are investigated using ab initio composite methods. Intrinsic reaction coordinate calculations are performed to determine the energies along the decomposition pathways. The optimized geometries of the N10 compounds indicate planar configurations consisting of aromatic nitrogen–nitrogen and carbon–nitrogen bonds. The stability and energy content of the substituted compounds are highly correlated with the nature of the substituents. Electron‐donating groups reduce the heats of formation but increase the exothermicity of the decomposition. The decomposition of the N10 compounds is classified into two general pathways: (1) a scheme involving straight‐up decomposition and (2) a scheme involving functional rearrangement. Compounds undergoing decomposition pathway (1) are more exothermic with lower rate‐determining activation barriers than those undergoing the latter pathway (2).
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.
