Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Reactive Energetic Plasticizer Based on Glycidyl Nitrate

In this research a reactive energetic plasticizer (REP) was synthesized that contain an activated terminal alkyne group and expected to give rise to azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, and prevents the migration of plasticizer to the external surface of polymers. This plasticizer contains an energetic group (ONO2) and increase energetic performance and oxygen balance. Propargyl Terminated Poly Glycidyl Nitrate (PTPGN)) was synthesized and characterized by DSC, GPC, FTIR and 1HNMR.The result of GPC showed that the Mn is about 731 g/mol. The plasticizer has oligomeric structure. DSC thermogram showed that the glass transition temperature is -66.50C. This plasticizer degraded at 170°C and it´s degradation take place in two stages.
