INVESTIGATION OF NEW TYPE POLYMERS TO BE USED IN PYROTECHNIC FUELS FOR THERMAL DISSEMINATION OF AGENTS

Abstract

During the first two months of investigation into the production of anhydrous syrups from simple sugars, the following reactions were studied: (1) sugar pyrolysis; (2) sugar-formaldehyde re actions; (3) sugar condensations with nitro com pounds; and (4) sugar reactions with polyols. Most promising results have been obtained with dipropylene and diethylene glycol reaction prod ucts with glucose. The pyrolysis experiments have all led to the formation of glassy solids.
