Furazan-Based Energetic Ingredients

Abstract

A series of furazan-based energetic materials derived from 3 ,4-diaminofurazan (DAF) were synthesized and characterized. These compounds included diaminoazoxyfurazan (DAAOF), diaminoazofurazan (DAAF), dinitroazoxyfurazan (DNAF), aminonitrofurazan (ANF), dinitrobisfurazanopyrazine (PIPER), and tetrazoxytetrafurazan (TATFO). Characterization testing included small scale safety testing (impact, friction, ESD, thermal stability), DSC analysis, vacuum thermal stability (VTS), and ingredient compatibility (by DSC). Results from these tests indicated that most of the materials have excellent thermal stability, as determined by DSC analysis. However, the small scale safety properties and ingredient compatibilities of most of these materials with standard propellant ingredients were found to be unsuitable for an acceptable propellant ingredient. The most promising furazan-based material investigated was DAAOF, based upon the above criteria.
