Synthesis of Energetic Single Phase and Multi-Phase Polymers

Abstract

The synthesis of polyformals from fluoro- and nitrodiols was continued at a low level. New polyformals were prepared from octafluorotriethylene glycol and hexadecafluoorodecanediol. Polyformals of a tetranitrodioxatridecanediol with molecular weights as high as 6000 were prepared. Additional copolyformals were prepared from fluoro- and nitrodiols with the objective to obtain polymers with the lowest glass transition temperature and highest energy possible for use as soft blocks in TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) synthesis. Copolymers of a hexanitrodioxadiazapentagecanediol and of dinitrodiazaoctanediol with several fluorodiols appear to be the most promising of the new polymers synthesized. Keywords: Polymers; Copolymers; Polyformals; Nitrodiols; Fluorodiols; Polyesters; Block copolymers; Thermoplastic elastomers.
