Regularities of the high-temperature transformation of poly-2-methyl-5-vinyltetrazole and solid fuel compositions based on it in the nitrogen atmosphere

Abstract

Macrokinetic regularities of high-temperature transformations of energy compositions based on poly-2-methyl-5-vinyltetrazole as an active binder have been studied. It has been shown that, in contrast to synthetic rubber, which is currently used in solid rocket fuel, poly-2-methyl-5-vinyltetrazole when added to the energy compositions based on high-nitrogen heterocycles leads to an increase in the burning rate of the fuel. The synergetic effect of the interaction between a binder and dispersant, manifested in an increase in the burning rate of the high-energy composition, reaches a maximum value when the mass ratio of the components in a binary mixture is 1:1.
