Energetic Azido Compounds
Abstract
A program on the synthesis and characterization of energetic azido prepolymers, based on BAMO, for potential use in advanced solid propellants, gun propellants, and explosives was successfully carried out. Homopolymerization of BAMO gave polymers with molecular weights ranging from 1800 to 3000 and functionalities of two or greater. However, all of the polymers were solids, with a melting point of 75 to 78 C; the melting points were not affected by changing the molecular weight. A melting point, however, as low as -5 C was achieved for a 50/50 mol % BAMO/THF copolymer. Emphasis on the program was therefore concentrated on optimizing the preparation of this copolymer so that it would be suitable for scaleup.
