“…Wang et al reported epoxy-terminated PGN that is cured with phthallic anhydride resulting in a stable elastomeric network . Copolymerization of PGN with polyols terminated with primary hydroxyl groups that are cured with a co-isocyanate curing method using a mixture of IPDI and Desmodur N100 was also reported as a viable method to arrest decuring . However, this method needs a moisture-free condition for the realization of void-free specimens due to the hydrophilicity of the terminal hydroxyl groups and the polar backbone of polyols leading to process constraints.…”

A novel nontoxic method for processing energetic binder, namely, polyglycidyl nitrate (PGN), using Aza-Michael reactions for deriving high-performance explosive formulations is being reported. The polyol binders used in polymer-bonded explosives (PBX) including PGN are usually cross-linked using isocyanate leading to polyurethane (PU)-based cured solid networks. These reactions require mild reaction conditions and yield good mechanical properties for the PBX but remain challenging due to extraneous reactions of isocyanate resulting in defects in the cured blocks. In addition, the presence of nitrato groups in the vicinity of terminal hydroxyl groups of PGN results in the decuring of cross-linked urethane that affects the storage life of PBX, though PGN-based binder can provide an 18% improvement in the velocity of detonation of PBX at lower solid loadings of 70%. This prevents researchers from exploiting the major performance advantage of using PGN for PBX compositions. This article herein features a green and mild aza-Michael reaction for functional modification of PGN using readily available substrates and triethylene tetramine to form a cross-linked β-aminocarbonyl network. The methodology ensures a void-free, stable, cured network and offers an effective replacement for toxic cure chemistry currently employed for processing of PBX.
