Executive Summary : | Binder systems are used in propellants for matrix generation, in pyrotechnics for granulation and pelleting as well as in explosives for polymer bonded explosive formulations. Conventional binders have drawbacks such as use of toxic and moisture sensitive isocyanates as curators coupled with their sensitivity and poor thermo-vacuum stability. High nitrogen-based binders can be an environmentally benign replacement for the existing systems owing to their good thermal stability, curing possibility with polyamines and they are stable. Moreover, these binders being energetic will add to the gross heat output and enhance the gas yield. As part of this project, development of novel high nitrogen binders is being pursued. |
