Studies on azotetrazolate based high nitrogen content high energy materials potential additives for rocket propellants

Advances in science and technology of modern energetic materials: An overview

“…Sivalaban et al [37] have reported the synthesis, characterization and thermolysis studies of a series of azotetrazolate salts, viz., ammonium/guanidinium/triaminoguanidinium [azotetrazolate]. Thermal analysis studies on these compounds indicate the highest heat release (2804 J/g) for guanidinium azotetrazolate salt during its exothermic decomposition.…”

Compatibility study of trans-1,4,5,8-tetranitro-1,4,5,8-tetraazadecalin (TNAD) with some energetic components and inert materials

“…Actually, some energetic materials such as DNP will melt and volatilize without decomposition at ambient pressure [18] and it is likely to be unreasonable to judge the compatibility under that condition [19]. So in this work, the compatibilities of trans- 1,4,5,8-tetranitro-1,4,5,8-tetraazadecalin with some energetic components and inert materials under non-isothermal conditions investigated by means of pressure DSC [20][21][22][23][24] are reported. In addition, in order to make our conclusion more convictive, the investigation on impact and friction sensitivity properties of the trans- 1,4,5,8-tetranitro-1,4,5,8-tetraazadecalin and its combination with the other energetic materials was also carried out according to the existing methods [25,26].…”

Synthesis, characterization and thermolysis studies on triazole and tetrazole based high nitrogen content high energy materials

“…Sodium azotetrazolate pentahydrate (SAZ)-a key synthon for the preparation of wide variety of energetic azotetrazolates has been synthesized [7]. The synthesised SAZ has been utilized for the preparation of another important precursor known as barium azotetrazolate pentahydrate (BAZ) and followed by to hydrazinium azotetrazolate (Scheme 1).…”

“…The concept of new class of high nitrogen content high energy materials (HNC-HEMs) has evinced great interest [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] during recent time as an energetic component of propellants. Presence of N-N and C-N bonds in HNC compounds confers positive heat of formation on them.…”
